BRASHER -- Firefighters from 10 departments along with the Department of Environmental Conservation responded to a five- to six-acre fire off Murray Road May 18.
Forest rangers responded shortly before 3 p.m. that day after overhearing a call by St. Lawrence County 911, according to a DEC press release.
Forest rangers assisted 10 area fire departments using ATV firefighting apparatus and hand tools.
A drone mapped the fire at 14 acres as the fire spread through dry vegetation in swamps and wooded areas, DEC said.
Low humidity and high temperatures, before the leaf growth, helped to spread this fire caused by the landowner burning brush.
