SPRINGFIELD – A brush fire spread through an area of Forest Park damaging an undetermined amount of woods yesterday.
The fire started at about 5:30 p.m. and spread from the duck pond up a hill to Colony Road. It took firefighters about two hours to extinguish the blaze, Springfield Fire Department spokesman Dennis G. Leger said.
Longmeadow Fire Department assisted with seven firefighters, Fire Capt. Jay Macsata said.
The fire was hard to extinguish because it was in an area that was difficult to reach, he said.
