There is a huge brush fire in the Chippens Hill area here in Bristol. I'm waiting on a call back from my buddy in the fire department to see what exactly is going on. All I do know is that they are using helicopters with water baskets to help douse the fire. As soon as I know more, I will post. Jim...I know you have a fire/emergency radio...if

i just programmed some frequencies for bristol. I havent heard anything yet.

I also havent heard anything from my emergency paging service - They have one reported in Naugatuck, but nothing from bristol - of course that doesnt mean much, they just got bought out recently and have been pretty lax on reporting Connecticut calls. I've got pages of calls from New Hampshire though........

Here's an interesting one from this afternoon:

It was a 30 acre brush fire. Residents on Matthews Street were evacuated for a bit last night.
