BOURNE – Firefighters responded to the Bay View Campgrounds at 260 MacArthur Boulevard (Route 28) in Bourne about 2 PM Wednesday. The affected area was wet down with no damage to camp areas. Lane closures on Route 28 caused traffic slowdowns. Nearly 1,200 customers lost power as a result of the electrical issue.

SANDWICH – A downed power line was believed responsible for starting a brush fire on Discovery Hill Road about 2 PM. Sandwich called for additional brush units to get the situation under control.

Eversource was called to investigate both scenes.
