The town of Lincoln closed a stretch of West Broadway on Wednesday afternoon, after a wildfire broke out. As of 5:20 p.m. some areas had been extinguished, but the fire continued to burn in others and the road remained closed. Dry conditions prompted the fire department last week to stop issuing open burning permits and rescind existing permits for the towns of Lincoln, Winn and Chester.
