Brush fire scorches several acres in Union Grove

Posted: Updated:
MARSHALL COUNTY, AL (WAFF) -

A brush fire Friday in the Union Grove area came dangerously close to a home.

It started around noon and the wind dry conditions cause the fire to spread quickly. By the time it was put out, nearly ten acres off Hickory Circle in the northern Marshall County had burned.

Brindlee Mountain firefighters with the help of nine assisting departments had the fire under control within thirty minutes. They're now looking into what started the fire.
