Fire spreads over acres as crews battle blaze near Reliance
Fire crews fought an extensive brush and timber blaze a few miles south of Stephens City near the Double Churches area. Volunteers and local residents aided operations while authorities closed Guard Hill Road and a portable pump supplied water. The blaze followed a similar fire farther east that burned about 125 acres on April 4. MR. RACEY noted dry pulp wood and brush fed the flames though a crown fire did not develop. The Middletown Fire Co. was also called to a brush fire nearby at 4 50 a m on the Ridge Road between Reliance and Riverton on a 321 acre farm owned by Bill and John Judy of Moorefield West Virginia. Three properties were involved.
