The Williamson Fire Department and the West Virginia Division of Forestry joined forces to battle a brush fire that got out of control Monday. According to firefighter Stephan Casey, the cause of the blaze has yet to be determined. “Division of Forestry men cut a fire line, and we thought the danger had passed,” Casey said. “But the fire jumped that line, and we are now working to get it under control.” Casey said some houses were near the blaze. The WFD responded to the fire with two trucks. The Division of Forestry provided a helicopter to fight the fire with water from nearby Tug River. Forest fires are spread across the currently dry state.
