MILFORD — An attempt to burn a pile of leaves resulted in a call to the Milford Fire Department to help control its unwanted spread.
The call went out around 2 p.m. Wednesday, March 16, to EMS D 13 Lane on the north shore of Dewart Lake. The fire had spread up a hill at the end of the lane, threatening a nearby covered shed. The homes in the area did not appear to be threatened by the fire.
MFD quickly got the ground fire under control using its tanker and hoses. Fire crews attacked the fire from the top and bottom of the hill.
Turkey Creek Fire Territory also responded to the scene with equipment and manpower.
