Departments busy with field fires

Two field fires on opposite ends of the county kept local firemen busy this afternoon.

Both fires started between noon and 1 p.m. One was off Brown Mine Road on Lark Loop in the southern part of the county. The second fire was on Collie Brown Road off U.S. 60 East.

Kentucky law prohibits burning during daytime hours (6 a.m., to 6 p.m.) until after April 30.

Firemen were also called to put out a field fire Monday.
