Brush Fire Quickly Extinguished

The cause remains "undetermined."

The Westport Fire Department responded to a brush fire at the intersection of Imperial Avenue and Harbor View Road  Wednesday evening, reports Assistant Fire Chief Robert E. Yost.

Upon arrival, firefighters found a fire in the woods at the top of the hill burning an area about 25 square feet.  A hose line was stretched and firefighters immediately extinguished the flames, Yost said in a news release. 

The area surrounding the fire was wet down to prevent a re-kindle of fire.  The fire was in an area where tree crews had been cutting wood and the cause remains "undetermined" Yost said.
