Just before 2pm the Ashaway Volunteer Fire Association was dispatched to the 400 block of Main Street for a possible brush fire. Brush 412 arrived first on scene confirming a working 10x15 brush fire spreading into the wood line. Car 402 established command, and two 1 3/4" hand lines were stretched, allowing personnel to quickly surround and contain the fire. Ashaway Ambulance Association was added to standby, Hopkinton Police Department shut down Main Street to allow our firefighters to work, and Rhode Island Energy responded for power lines involved. All units were back in service within 30 minutes and Main Street was reopened to normal traffic flow.
