Update from Lynn Fire Department on Saturday, May 13th:

The brush fire continues to burn in Lynn Woods. Overnight smoke banked down and spread north across the northshore area.

The fire is burning along a steep rocky terrain between the residential neighborhoods and Ox Pasture Rd. in Lynn Woods. Engine Co. 10 spent the majority of the night on scene along Ellen Rd. making sure the fire did not flair up near any properties. The fire is primarly contained for now and is not threatening any property at this time.

Companies will continue to work today along with DCR state forestry. Many large trees are still burning and smoldering within the fire area. While there is no restrictions in place, we ask that the public please stay away from Ox Pasture Road in Lynn Woods due to the apparatus and personnel that will be working there.
