A slow-burning brush fire caused damage to nearly three-quarters of an acre of woodlands near Wood River on Monday, but firefighters were able to stop the blaze before it spread to any residential properties. Firefighters with the Hope Valley-Wyoming Fire Department were called to Arcadia Road near Cherry Lane around 3:30 p.m. after residents reported smelling and seeing smoke coming from a forested area to the south. Responding firefighters worked to find the source of the fire, eventually locating a large section of burning brush across the river on Wood River Drive in Hopkinton.
