Fire companies from several towns worked together to put out a growing brush fire near Lake Lillinonah Saturday morning. Firefighters from Southbury responded to a report of a small brush fire in the area of Little York Road near George C. Waldo State Park at 6:28 a.m. The fire was called in by a boater on Lake Lillinonah who could see the fire near the shore, according to dispatch reports. Responding crews found an escalating brush fire deep in the woods on a steep embankment. Southbury firefighters established a barrier between the burning brush and the remainder of the park as fire companies from surrounding towns — including Brookfield, Bridgewater, Newtown and Woodbury — sent mutual aid. Newtown’s Sandy Hook Fire & Rescue provided assistance in the woods and the Woodbury Volunteer Fire Department provided coverage for the town of Southbury.
