While supplies last, two-year agreement required. At approximately 3 p.m. this afternoon, the Prestonsburg Fire Department was dispatched to West Prestonsburg with reports of a large forest fire behind the Mountain Arts Center. When the guys got over there, it was a pretty big one. They had some extra people come out to help them with it. They sprayed some water in the area to keep it off of the residents over there. They got that under control probably about 4.30. And we got back to the station and about 15 minutes later we had another one at the mouth of Little Paint just past KDMC on US 23. Today's fire grew so quickly that additional assistance was needed from outside the county. We started on top of the hill, brought two control lines, one down each side, burnt the fire out as we come down, burnt it out then it's controlled, then we can leave. The fire started by arson, it started up on the hill above the houses. If it had been debris burning, it would have started down closer to a house. Last year we had Game Wardens come out and done the law enforcement for us this year. I don't know if that's going to happen. We'll come out and investigate it the next time we get a change. With today's fire, officials want to remind residents to use extra precautions during burn season. Burn season, February 15th, 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. is the only time that you can burn. Has to be wood or wood particle, you have to be 150 feet away from a wood area and you have to be with it at all times. And even though right now it is okay to burn after 6 p.m., we do ask folks to just look outside and see if it's windy outside. The Kentucky Division of Forestry reported fires in Johnson, MacGuffin, Pike, Knott and Floyd counties today. Coming from Prestonsburg for EKB News, I'm Shawn Allen.
