CHEHALIS – Rural Chehalis firefighters were joined by three other fire departments yesterday in putting out a brush fire in the area of Ceres Hill and Meskill Road.

Lewis County Fire District 6 tweeted just before 6 p.m. the site was turned over to personnel from the state Department of Natural Resources.

Photos from the scene west of Chehalis show smoke rising from an area that appears to have been previously logged, with piles of wood debris.

District 6 was assisted by members of Fire Districts 11, 13 and 5, according to the tweets. Further information was not readily available this morning.
