Residents are accustomed to glowing the blue light that dominates the southern Portsmouth sky since the lighting of the American grant bridge in 2023. However, the parallel red light was north of Portsmouth, while five firefighters of the firefighters worked for ten hours to contain a full coverage of about 46 football fields.
Fire Department Assistant to the Fire Department, Rosemont Eric Brown, told the Portsmouth Times that a fire arose from a person burning his possessions that grew out of control on Tuesday, when his ministry received a call late in the afternoon that the fire was consuming Rosemont Helside.
“We were sent around 3 pm to a brush report. The fire started on Lowry Hollow, in the building of approximately 1200.” The original fire was about 30 acres when we were sent, and the total fire was estimated by us and ODNR by 55 to 60 acres. “
According to Brown, the firefighters in Rosemont were at the scene of the accident from 3 pm to 1 am, along with mutual aid coming from Rubville, Valley, Washington town, Odenner Fourrestry.
“The fire was above the very slope terrain, which was part of the problem with this problem.” We had to use off -road vehicles to reach the fire. “The fire was about 15 minutes on a trip to reach from the top of the Rosemount road to the point where the fire grew, which delayed us in obtaining the workforce there.”
Brown said that the firefighting administration had carrier trucks near homes that were in a possible danger, but the water was not a choice to fight the fire as it was growing, so they had to fail more physical work to prevent fire from growing.
“Firefighters use alerts, pipes, and other hand tools to make lines around the fire. It is really hard work.
According to Brown, the crews were called again the next day when the fire was made and an additional hour and a half spent it.
Brown said that this fire occurred during the prohibition of active burning and that the easiest way to prevent these cases from occurring is to follow burning guidelines by officials.
“Obedience to the ban on burning. Brown explained:” We are on burning restrictions from March and April, during the restriction period. “There is no burning at all. You have to obey laws, not burning. You should not burn near the hills on wind days, which seems clear, but it seems that people do this anyway. If you live near the forest, we ask people to remove the debris from your home and keep the vegetation away from your home. We had many homes that we were protecting and that had three feet of leaves on their roofs. If one of the amber falls into it, as you know, you have a great disaster. “
Brown said the burning opening that caused the fire was under investigation by ODNR.
