SUN JOURNAL • September x, 2020

Crews from several towns were battling a wild fire early Saturday morning after flames were reported in the woods off East Hebron Road. Firefighters went to the area at about 11 p.m. Friday. Soon after, Oxford firefighters were calling for help from other towns, including Minot, Hebron and Turner, as flames were said to be blowing to the north. Early reports were that at least one acre was burning. There are several homes in the area, though it was not immediately known if flames were threatening any of them. Close to midnight, more calls were going out for additional manpower. By 2 a.m., fire crews were still at the scene.
