Brush fire off North Bergen Road

By Billie Owens

A brush fire is reported just east of 6385 N. Byron Road. Bryon and South Byron fire departments are dispatched. The location is between Route 237 and Bird Road.

UPDATE 1:54 p.m.: All responding units are back in service. We believe this was a controlled burn that the firefighters extinguished. We heard that they had talked with the property owner, which we take to mean they informed the person about opening burn regulations.

It is really difficult to police controlled burns these days and so there will be more people who will do the controlled burns if there are not better security measures against them.

<p><span>It is often hard for firefighters to determine whether to <a href="http://www.privcasinoline.com/11-no-need-for-a-fortune/">spend a fortune</a> on what is a burn that is out of control because the dry weather creates fire conditions. </span></p>
