Five fire departments and state Forest Rangers were recently involved in fighting a forest fire in Harrisville.
DEC says on May 24, their Ray Brook Dispatch received a call from St. Lawrence County 911 asking for forest ranger assistance for a wildland fire on Jayville Road in the town of Harrisville.
A landowner burning brush during low humidity and high heat caused the fire. The fire was held to 1.2 acres thanks to the immediate response by five local fire departments, DEC said.
Forest Rangers used ATV fire apparatus to mop up the fire and put out hot spots. The fire was out by the afternoon of May 25, according to DEC.
