JAY Fourteen fire departments from four counties responded to assist at an unpermitted burn of brush behind a residence on Pine Street on Wednesday that spread fast with a little bit of wind pushing it up steep terrain in a heavily populated, residential area.
“It spread really quickly,” Fire Rescue Chief Mike Booker said.
Pine Street is located off Elm Street, which is a very steep road off Route 4. The house is owned by Karen Bailey, Booker said.
