Firefighters say a hot chainsaw on a dry field started a five-acre brush fire in St. Johnsbury. The four-alarm fire broke out in a field behind a home on Wednesday afternoon as the homeowner was cutting down a tree and set the chainsaw down on the field for just a moment. Firefighters tell the Caledonian-Record it was driven by wind up a steep hill to the northbound lane of Interstate 91.
