A stubborn weekend brush fire in Springfield’s Forest Park is prompting fire officials to warn of a high fire risk on Sunday afternoon.
Springfield firefighters spent about three hours extinguishing the blaze off Trafton Road and returned on Sunday morning when the fire rekindled. They were there for another about three hours before they put it out again, Fire Capt. Drew Piemonte said.
The fire burned about an acre of land. It was near Camp Angelina and close to homes so firefighters were concerned about winds spreading the flames to the buildings, he said.
