Coventry, RI - Western Coventry Fire Department crews responded with ET-9 and Brush 1, along with the Kubota, to assist West Greenwich on a large-scale brush fire.
Firefighters worked alongside mutual aid partners to contain the blaze as dry conditions and shifting weather increased fire spread potential.
Residents are urged to avoid open burning due to the heightened fire risk and rapidly changing conditions.
