Department of Natural Resources and Mahone Bay fire fighters were back on the scene this morning of last night’s brush fire on highway 103 between exits 9 and 10. They returned with an excavator after a flareup around 5am. The original blaze broke out at about 7:45 last evening and 6 deparments were involved including the DNR, Western Shore, Martins River, Mahone Bay, Chester Basin and Blockhouse.
Fire crews spent more than three hours at the scene last night. A Department of Natural Resources spokesman says today’s rain should help put out the fire and dampen all wooded areas.
