Mid afternoon, Lisbon Fire was called to the area of Rt-169 and Rt-12 for a brush fire. This is a large, dense forest area with tight limited access roads. The total acreage burnt I am unsure of, I never saw the whole area and I heard reports of 4 acres to 15 acres from someone in the CMD structure. I would guess there was at least 70 acres in this area. All manpower has to be brought in by pick-up or ATV as accessing the fire was a mile and half away from any road..
Most of the transportation vehicles either stalled going up the steep hills or the UTV's would run out of gas to get to the fire. Water supply was portable pumps drafting from various locations within the woods (ie swamps,streams) alot of dead trees and brush made for a large fire load. the wind didn't help things either. a few high tension power poles were damaged during the fire. The fire got deep seated in the trees and roots, the scene was turned over to DEP around 19:00hrs
