Writer: SageVigiles

Multiple agencies working this job, probably more than I listed. Reported as a 60 acre brush fire with at least 2 structures involved.

ICALL/ITAC system activated through Dept. of Public Safety to manage the various departments.

Details are still sketchy, but word is that an arrest has already been made for reckless burning at a construction site, which seems to have caused the fire.

Alot of lower Fairfield County is out of place right now, relocating to cover the stations that are out.
