CUMBERLAND FIREFIGHTERS RESPOND TO BIG ROCK MOUNTAIN BLAZE
Cumberland County firefighters responded to Big Rock Mountain in Crab Orchard late yesterday for a forest fire. Crews not only contended with the blaze but winds gusts up to 25 miles per hour made it extremely difficult to fight the fire. Around 8 p.m. last night, county authorities turned the fire over to the state forestry office. A cause of the blaze is unknown at this time. No injuries were initially reported.
