Fire Rekindles In North Park Overnight

(KDKA) A brush fire sparked by a downed power line earlier this week rekindled in North Park overnight.

The grass fire sparked around midnight near the Administration Building, on Pierce Mill Road.

On Wednesday, the fire broke out because of a fallen power line.

Crews say they had some challenges trying to fight the fire overnight.

"Its one of those things that's kind of difficult to get out of because of the woods, small area, probably 50 to 75 feet in diameter," said Assistant Chief Paul Wain, of the Peebles Fire Company.

Crews say they had to stretch the fire hose about a half-mile into the woods, where they used a protein-based foam to put out the flames.
