Brush Fire Burns For Over Three Hours on Route 71

Fire burned in wooded marshland off of Route 71 on Sunday afternoon.

A brush fire on Sunday afternoon spread a thick layer of black smoke in the rear of the 7200 block of Route 71, said the Oswego Fire Protection District. The OFPD was called in at 1:33 p.m. and did not manage to put the entire blaze out until about 5:00 p.m., said Battalion Chief Jeff Warren. The fire happened in the rear of the block in what Warren described as a “marshy area.” There were 10-15 acres of 8 foot-tall cattails along with the marsh, he said. Due to the climate, the fire department could not get their trucks out into the marsh and had to fight the fire with fire extinguishers that held 2.5 gallons of water. Warren thanked all of the surrounding departments for their help in fighting the fire, including Bristol-Kendall, …

The accident occurred at Route 71 and Orchard Road late Friday afternoon.

Four cars were involved in an accident at Route 71 and Orchard Road around 4 p.m. on Friday, said the Oswego Police Department.    No serious injuries were reported, although one driver was transported to Rush-Copley Medical Center.
