Crews from the Yarmouth Fire Department responded to a brush fire incident involving Forestry 2 and Forestry 3 working near power lines on May 2.
The agency is witnessing a hectic start to the brush fire season, according to officials, because dry soils and low humidity raise the risk of wildfires.
