Shelburne Firefighters Save Five Homes From Fire

Firefighters in Shelburne helped save at least five homes from going up in flames. Crews responded quickly to a call regarding a forest fire around 2:30 yesterday afternoon. The fire broke out just off the Wrights Road and was under control by supper time. Fire Chief Edgar Allison says there were some tense moments because the fire was burning so close to the town.



Allison says the path of the fire was difficult to predict and several families were put on evacuation notice. An official from the Department of Natural Resources suffered minor injuries and was carried off the scene on a stretcher.
