McKean County Wildfire Update
Firefighters have their hands full Monday with fires from Shep Run Road to Dallas Road.
The Dallas Road fire that was called in at just after 1 p.m. has burned more than six acres. It was apparently started by sparks from a welding torch.
The Shep Run Road fire was called in at about 11 a.m. There’s no word yet on what started that fire. Officials say that fire is mostly contained, but crews will probably be on the scene throughout the night.
Firefighters were also called to South Kendall Avenue, where a transformer sparked a small brush fire and a very brief power outage; and to Minard Run Road for a grass fire.
Crews from Bradford Township, Lewis Run, Rew, Derrick City, Otto Township, Corydon Township , Limestone, Knapp Creek and Bradford City have all been called out. Crews from the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources are at the Dallas Road fire.
