Piccadilly Blazed by Bush Fire
A brush fire blazed through several acres of land overnight in the hills above Piccadilly, located in the southeastern section of Antigua.
The All-Saints Fire Station received a call at 7:10 on Tuesday night to respond to the fire.
Although the fire was initially burning in the hills and did not immediately threaten nearby properties, fire tenders were dispatched.
A standby approach was adopted, with a designated person ready to report should the fire begin to approach any property.
This incident marked the 52nd fire call for the year for that station.
