Dumped ashes lead to brush fire
Approximately two acres of a wooded area were burned on Monday, February 3, at 7389 E State Road 64, a property owned by John Chumbley. According to the report, ashes were dumped out on Saturday, and the wind fanned the embers enough to reignite surrounding brush. Fifteen firefighters and four trucks from the Schnellville Fire Department were on scene for approximately an hour. Birdseye Volunteer Fire Department assisted at the scene with 10 personnel and four trucks.
