Roger Hannigan Gilson is reporting in the Register-Star a brush fire that burned more than eight acres off Stevers Crossing Road in Philmont Sun., Jun. 26, rekindled Monday afternoon. Five fire companies were dispatched to extinguish the blaze for the third time in two days. The flare-up was minor compared to the original fire, Mellenville Fire Chief Michael Layman said. The Mellenville department and 10 other fire companies were called to the scene late afternoon Sunday after a piece of farm equipment caused a hay bale to ignite. When someone attempted to move the burning bale to the pond, it caught the field on fire. That fire destroyed approximately 20 round hay bales, but no crops, and firefighters were able to extinguish the fire before it spread into the woods. The fire occurred at Hillview Farm, the new location of Common Hands farm, which is currently in the process of setting up operations on the land. Read the full story in the Register-Star.
