MASHPEE – Multiple departments responded forestry units to a brush fire in Mashpee. The fire was reported off South Sandwich Road near the Rod & Gun Club shortly after noon Sunday. No injuries. Firefighters battled the dry, windy conditions to get the flames under control. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
From Mashpee Fire: This afternoon, Mashpee Fire responded to the area of the Rod & Gun club for a report of a brush fire in a wooded area in close proximity to many houses. Mashpee responded with the assistance of forestry units from Sandwich, Joint Base Cape Cod, West Barnstable, and MA DCR. The fire ultimately reached 1/2 acre and was controlled and extinguished later in the afternoon. COMM FD and Falmouth Fire-Rescue assisted by covering Mashpee HQ while all units were committed. As always, we’d like to extend thanks to our mutual aid partners.
