Cape Cod Estates Forest Fire Threatens East Falmouth
A large 600 acre brush fire swept through East Falmouth near Hatch's Hay Way threatening the Crane estate and two high tension lines. Firefighters from local, state, and Barnstable units, aided by Mass., battled the blaze for hours but kept it from reaching homes and borders before midnight. Rabbits fled as the wind shifted, delaying alarms after a tire failure slowed the initial response.
