Firefighters from a dozen companies in three counties were kept busy by a series of brush fires Wednesday afternoon and evening.
Crews from Bedford, Everett, Cumberland Valley, Breezewood, Shawnee Valley, Bedford Road and Corriganville, along with DCNR Bravo responders, were called to a fire off Mountain View Lane in Colerain Township on Rainsburg Mountain at 1:45 p.m. The fire was in a rugged part of the mountain, and initially firefighters had trouble getting apparatus to the fire. Bedford Chief Bill Foor said initially crews had to fight the fire on foot, with the help of ATVs and UTVs, until a logging road was located that could be used.
