At approximately 9:00 PM the Alpha's were dispatched to the 2100 Blk. of N. Oak Ln. in Patton Township for a brush fire behind a residence. Capt. B. Bittner (592) arrived on scene first to find a small brush fire and advised best access would be from the Park Forest Elementary School.
Engine 514 and Tanker 520 arrived and stretched a line into the woods to extinguish the fire. The fire was approximately 40'x40' and was slow moving. The crew from Rescue 518 assisted with extinguishment and overhaul of the area.
Units operated on scene for about 1 hour. The cause has not yet been determined.
