A fairly large grass and brush fire gave city fire crews all they could handle last night. District Fire Chief Joe Armstrong says it started in the area of Fort La Tour and spread along the rail lines all the way from Chesley Drive to Bentley Street. It took fire crews an hour and a half to extinguish it. Then there was another fire uptown at 148 Sydney Street caused by unattended cooking.
Earlier in the day, a forest fire broke out on the Kingston Peninsula in the area of Carter's Point. CHSJ News was told four water bombers were called into action to help put it out.
