Earlier today at approximately 12:19pm, the Mackinaw Fire Department was dispatched to a brush fire along the Mackinaw River, off Hild Road. Upon arrival, crews determined that access to the fire would be difficult, requiring entry from Tyrell Road instead.

Due to the challenging terrain and fire spread, mutual aid was requested. With the assistance of our neighboring departments, the fire was quickly brought under control and fully extinguished. Approximately 5.5 acres of property were burned.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our mutual aid partners for their support and teamwork, including: Minier Fire Allin Township Fire Department - Stanford, IL, Deer Creek, IL Fire Department, Tremont IL Fire Department, Mackinaw Rescue Squad, Danvers Fire department

Thank you to all who responded and assisted in today’s operation.

UPDATE: All units have returned and area is clear.

Everyone please avoid the area of Tyrell rd bridge as fire fighters from multiple departments are battling a brush fire.rne
