A brush fire along the side of the road on Route 35 near Mount Holly Road was extinguished Thursday afternoon. Katonah firefighters were dispatched to the call at about 5:45 PM. Car 2213 arrived on scene and reported an active brush fire along the slope of a hill overlooking Route 35. Engine 117, Tanker 6, and Engine 116 soon arrived on scene, and crews went to work, extinguishing the fire and checking for hot spots.
