West Greenwich, RI - Firefighters from Lake Mishnock Fire/Rescue responded to a large-scale brush fire that rapidly spread through heavy woods and slash, creating a demanding and extended operation.

Facing dry conditions, shifting winds, and difficult terrain, crews worked aggressively to contain the fire using hand lines, brush units, and extensive overhaul efforts.

Limited access to the area required the use of off-road apparatus and significant manpower to reach the seat of the fire.

Through coordinated efforts, firefighters successfully brought the blaze under control, preventing it from extending deeper into surrounding woodland.

Crews remained in the area to monitor conditions and guard against potential flare-ups.

The department credited a strong mutual aid response for the successful outcome, with numerous regional agencies assisting on scene.

Officials also reminded the public of the elevated fire risk during dry conditions, urging residents to avoid outdoor burning and to report any signs of smoke or fire immediately.
