First accounts of the fire started coming in on social media during the lunch hour. At times flames could be seen reaching over the treetops in the woods off Larch Grove Road.
Area residents were on edge, with the fire growing in intensity in the heat, wind, and dry conditions.
Shortly before 5:00 p.m. the blaze was declared under control. Crews with the Department of Natural Resources remained on the scene into the evening to mop up hot spots and ensure there were no flare-ups.
