Firefighters from several towns battled a late Friday fire on an island in Pushaw Lake. The fire, which was reported around midnight, destroyed a couple of small buildings and one firefighter was treated at the scene for minor injuries. Firefighters weren’t sure whether anyone was on the island. No one was found, and no civilians were reported injured. Fire officials warned boaters on the lake to expect smoke in the coming days and advised the public to avoid the island because of hazardous rocky terrain and lingering fire conditions.
