Five volunteer fire departments battled a large brush fire fueled by windy conditions near Prizer Point in Lyon County Thursday afternoon. The brush fire was in a wooded area and burned more than 20 acres between Howard and Enfield roads located off of Rockcastle Road.
Trigg County Emergency Management Director David Bryant says the fire crews responded to the scene shortly after 12pm Thursday when someone was burning something and it got out of a control.
