Liberty Fire and Rescue responded today to a wildfire on an island in Lake St. George. Fortunately, the fire was quickly brought under control thanks to the immediate suppression efforts of an off-duty firefighter from another department, who had already begun applying water before crews arrived.

We are grateful for their quick action, which helped prevent the situation from escalating. This incident is a strong reminder of the very dry conditions in our region and the heightened fire risk they pose. As a precaution, we strongly advise the public to avoid any burning activities at this time.
