On Friday evening, crews from the Maury County Fire Department, in collaboration with the Tennessee Division of Forestry, took action to manage a brush fire that had ignited on Chesnut Ridge Road. It is believed that the fire had been smoldering unnoticed for a significant portion of the day prior to their arrival.
To safeguard the surrounding trees, firefighters established a fire line around the affected area. Their efforts did not stop there; they continued to monitor the site closely to ensure that the fire was fully contained and did not reignite. The teamwork between the local fire department and forestry officials highlights the importance of prompt response in preventing the spread of wildfires.
