GROVELAND, Mass. — Members of the Groveland and West Newbury Fire Departments extinguished a brush fire that was caused by a downed power line on Friday.
Crews were notified around 1:25 P.M. when reports of a brush fire in a remote area under high tension power lines in the area of Center Street and Webster Way.
Upon arrival, crews were able to locate the approximate half-acre brush that was burning due to the downed power lines.
It’s believed that the fire was caused by high winds knocking down a pine tree, which took the power lines with it.
A forestry firefighting team also responded to assist in taking down the fire.
The National Grid was called to the scene as well, de-energizing the power line, which was then when the firefighters were able to take out the fire around 2:31 P.M.
No injuries were reported.
