Upon arrival, smoke wasn’t instantly spotted by crews.
Kids’ bikes and helmets were spotted nearby when crews first spotted traces of smoke.
From the other side of a farmer’s field, the blaze appeared to be in a tricky area at the base of a large rocky hill. Firefighters found the small fire on the hillside of the Black Rock Farm property and were quick to extinguish it.
The cause of the fire is unconfirmed at this time.
