“Just after 5:00 pm on Monday, Freetown Fire Department crews were alerted to a brush fire behind a solar field on Dr Braley Rd.

The fire originated inside the solar field enclosure and extended into the surrounding woods. Several acres burned before crews could fully contain the fire.

While we have had a great deal of rain this spring it only takes a short time for the surface fuels to dry out and burn easily.”-Freetown Fire Department.
