GALLERY: 11 acres burned before crews contained the blaze
From the Savona Fire Department,
At approximately 2:05 PM, the Savona Fire Department was dispatched to a reported brush fire on Robbie Road, approximately 50 feet from a home. When Chief 33 arrived on scene, there were approximately 4–5 acres of a grass field already on fire and moving away from the residence.
Within minutes, the wind picked up and the flames crossed the field, spreading rapidly. Fire crews worked quickly to contain the fire after approximately 11 acres had burned, preventing it from spreading into neighboring properties.
A huge thank you to all Savona members for their hard work, as well as the Bath, Bradford, Campbell, Coopers Plains, Hammondsport, Painted Post, and Wayne Fire Departments for their assistance. We also appreciate the support from 911 Dispatchers, Bath Ambulance, and the NYS Forest Rangers.
Great teamwork by everyone involved to bring this fire under control safely.
