Milltown – Despite recent rains and a rapid greening of woodlands, the spring fire season is still with us at least for a while.
Local firefighters with Graham County Fire and Rescue – as well as the N.C. and U.S. Forest services – responded to a small brush fire around 5:10 p.m., April 30. The fire was located at a homeless camp near the former Stanley Furniture plant off Snowbird Road.
Someone had left a campfire unattended that spread into a nearby wooded area. The fire was quickly contained after burning less than one acre of private property.
