(04/14/2014)

The Big Otter Volunteer Fire Department and other units responded to a brush fire about midnight Saturday in the Mud Fork area near the Clay-Calhoun line. The fire was described by 911 as a large fire. The Clay departments requested assistance from the Upper West Fork VFD about 1 a.m. Sunday. A brush fire near the mouth of Crummies Creek/Rt. 16 was quickly brought under control Sunday afternoon by the Arnoldsburg VFD. The department was dispatched about 1 p.m. Warming temperatures and dryness have increased the risk of forest fires.
