ELKMONT FIRE DEPARTMENT HELPING OUT

Flames were creeping along in the tall grass and the Piney Chapel Fire Department was sent to the scene.  They paged the ever ready Elkmont volunteers for back up. The fire was about 400 yards south of New Garden Road on Hays Mill Road. It appeared someone had started an old trash pile behind three trailers.  The fire got out as trash and brush fires often do and started on the field beside it, burning three acres.   The fire departments involved were Piney Chapel, Elkmont and Oak Grove.  Forty fire fighters were there to put out the fire.   A shout out to our Elkmont Volunteers who are always there when called, even on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.
