Friday just before 6pm the Pinehurst Fire Dept. was called to the 3400 block of Pheasant for a large brush fire involving bamboo. Firefighters arrived to find heavy fire conditions that were threatening a detached garage on the property.
Adam Fields with the PFD said West Orange, Orange, BC and ESD4 were called for mutual aid. The crews were able to stop the fire before it got to the structure or spread to the surrounding brush in the area which was all very thick bamboo.
No injuries to firefighters or civilians, and the cause is unknown. Neighbors said they didn’t see anyone or anything that might have started it.
