BOURNE – A brush fire fanned by strong winds made for quite a sight along Sandwich Road in Bourne early Tuesday afternoon. Upwards to an acre was burned. Firefighters were able to keep the flames from encroaching on a nearby pump house. A brush breaker was called to allow for access to the whole fire area so it could be completely put out.
Around 5 PM, lightning apparently struck a utility pole on Cedar Swamp Road causing power lines to fall sparking another brush fire. Crews worked to keep the flames from encroaching a nfire. pump house. A brush breaker was called to enable access to completely extinguish the fire. No injuries were reported in either fire.
