I stopped for fuel at the Farm Hill Bindu (or Bindi?) and noticed a number of LE and EMS vehicles proceeding onto Jack’s Branch Road, that I thought were responding to the fire. I started to take 112 to Barrineau Park Road to detour around the event, but was overtaken by curiosity and hung a right onto Jack’s Branch. It turns out that there had been a roll over vehicle accident and that the Smoke and LE/EMS vehicles were related to two seperate incidents. Hope there were no injuries.
They needed a hot burn to clean for a replanting.
Seems a little early in the year for Controlled Burns . I always do mine Late January / Early February .
We saw this from Tom Thumb @ 97…
