Hot and dry conditions contribute to brush fire Thursday, August 7, 2008 - Around 1400 hours, Co.10 (ACFR) and Co.6 (VVFC) were dispatched for a brush fire along I-81. Capt. Boyers (ACFR) arrived to find a rapidly spreading fire on the northbound off ramp to Rt. 250. The fire was started by a workers chop saw while cutting a bolt. The off ramp had a steep embankment that helped the fire spread so quickly. The lack of rain in the area did not help either. Units that responded were: Duty Officer (ACFR), E105, E63, Mini-61 and Tanker 109.       Courtesy of The News Leader
