Firefighters from several towns battled woods, grass and brush fires in two locations Tuesday. A woods fire was reported about 3:30 p.m. at the intersection of Mosher Hill Road and Federal Row on the Farmington/Industry line. A Central Maine Power Co. power line was sparking at the top of a utility pole and ignited grass. About 20 minutes later a second fire was reported in West Farmington caused by a campfire Monday night that wasn’t completely extinguished.
