committee member resigns

serving on the school committee extremely difficult. Applicants for the two

Fire Department puts out big brush fire
April 17 - The Lincoln Fire Department
responded yesterday to a permit fire that was out of
control. When the on-duty crew arrived approximately 1/2 acre of wooded area
behind the house at 180 Weston Road was burning out of control.
The fire began to travel toward two homes on Laurel Drive.
Luckily, the fire
was completely extinguished and all units cleared the scene after about two
hours. Crews from Weston and Concord assisted the Lincoln Fire Department
at the scene and by providing station coverage. A total of about 2 acres were
burned, there was no damage to any buildings thanks to the quick work of the
firefighters.
The Lincoln Fire Department would like to remind residents to use extra
caution while burning brush. The recent weather pattern has been one of
high winds and low relative humidity, this provides for conditions that will
quickly allow a permit fire to become and out of control wildland fire.
