Quick response from homeowners and firefighters saved several homes from a quickly spreading brush fire Sunday afternoon.
Around 3:15pm fire crews were called to the area of 106 Race Street Ringtown for a transformer fire. But before fire crews arrived, gusty winds helped the fire spread to nearby brush and other items that began to threaten nearby homes.
Sources said if homeowners had not acted quickly, the fire would have been much worse and could have spread to the homes.
When fire crews arrived, the fire was brought under control and no homes were damaged.
