Controlled burn

Share article

WOLCOTT – The Hardwick Fire Department and mutual aid partners performed a controlled burn on April 26,  of a house in Wolcott. The day’s conditions were challenging as we worked to prevent any wild-land fires from taking off. At the end of the day, the department diverted with W1 and E2 and our side-by-side to help control a brush fire a few miles away.

Do not burn without contacting your town fire warden.
