OGDENSBURG — Ogdensburg Professional Firefighters Local 1799 responded to a grass fire on State Highway 812 Wednesday afternoon.

“Shift 1 under the command of Captain Irvine responded to a mutual aid call on St Hwy 812 for a large grass fire,” an online post from the department said.

City firefighters were assisted by Heuvelton Volunteer Fire and Lisbon Volunteer Fire for over an hour to help extinguish the blaze.

“Although the burn ban isn’t in effect just yet we urge caution to all when burning leaves, yard debris or anything else this time of year as it only takes a very short time for a grass fire to get out of control. We’d like to extend a big thank you to Morristown Town Volunteer Fire for standing by at our station to help keep coverage in the city,” fire officials said.
