Bethel Twp Brush Truck driving into the brush fire off of Palmer Rd.

The Bethel Township Fire Department responded to what was believed to be a brush fire on February 14, 2017.The fire was located in a field between Palmer and Scarff Roads.

Upon arriving at the scene, fire personnel discovered the farmer of the property in the process of clearing out the tree line between two farm fields.

Four large piles of brush from the fence line were stacked in heaps 20 to 30 feet in a ravine and could not be seen from the road. First responders investigated and determined that the fire was under control and being monitored by the farmer.

The public can expect to see smoke over the next few days as the brush is burned under controlled conditions.

Bethel Township Clark County provided mutual aid backup in case they were needed.
