A reported wildfire in Limington that saw several towns responding Saturday night has been put out. Multiple area fire crews, including Cornish and Limerick, responded to North Road for the fire. Limington fire officials say the fire began when some neighbors living nearby were burning piles of logs on their property. York County's wildfire risk Saturday was high, which means intentional burns were not allowed. Authorities were fighting several small wildfires and brush fires around the state Saturday. Maine Forest Rangers posted on social media about fires that broke out in Penobscot and Aroostock counties. Several dry days, wind and dead grass and vegetation are some of the reasons why we're seeing a higher risk for wildfires right now. Last week was Maine Wildfire Awareness Week.
