Garage on fire in Jefferson Township

Firefighters work to clear burned debris after putting out a fire at Jones Road in Cabot on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Morgan Phillips/Butler Eagle (11/5/2024)

Firefighters were at the scene of a brush fire that spread to a garage early Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 5, in the 100 block of Jones Road in Jefferson Township.

Dispatchers sent crews to the fire just after 1 p.m.

Firefighters reported to 911 dispatchers that the garage was fully involved in flames, and asked for additional tankers.

A reporter is headed to the scene of the blaze, which firefighters described as covering about an acre of ground.

Crews also battled brush fires on Valley View Drive in Summit Township and on Howes Run Road in Buffalo Township at the same time as the Jones Road fire.

The area’s prolonged dry conditions, coupled with gusty winds on Tuesday, cause favorable conditions for grass and brush fires.
