Montgomery County brush fires may have been set
Two small brush fires this afternoon in Montgomery County appear to have been intentionally sparked with fireworks set off from passing vehicles, the sheriff's office said.
The first fire was on Lovely Mount Road, at the Radford City line. It burned less than a quarter of an acre, Sgt. Mark Hollandsworth said.
The second, on Wintergreen Drive, burned less than half an acre, he said. It took less than 45 minutes to put the fires out, he said.
Anyone with information about the fires is asked to call the sheriff's office at 382-6900.
