Brush fire near Utica was about a mile long
Posted by wlpo on March 31, 2014
It was a long hike for Utica Firefighters called to a brush fire. The fire burned about 50 acres of brush Sunday evening east of the village on the north side of the I and M Canal.
Fire Chief Ben Brown says someone living nearby smelled smoke and reported the fire just before 7pm. Brown says they couldn’t get a tanker to the fire so they had to carry water in backpacks. The fire was out by 8:40pm. It’s not clear what started the fire.
