Sharps Chapel VFD responded to a couple brush fires over the weekend. The first was on Friday, November 4, 2016. It occurred behind Rhonda’s Market & Deli on Sharps Chapel Rd. Rescue 51 and Rescue 52 responded quickly and extinguished the fire before it got out of hand. Below are pictures from the fire.
The second brush fire was on Saturday night. Sharps Chapel VFD was dispatched to a fire along the side of the roadway on Edwards Hollow Rd. When Rescue 51 arrived, some homeowners in the area already extinguished the fire. Fire units sprayed some water to cool the area to prevent it from catching back. Please remember that the Tennessee Division of Forestry has issued a burn ban for our area due to the extremely dry conditions.
