Fond du lac firefighters were busy Tuesday evening extinguishing several brush fires on the southside of town. Fire chief Pete O’Leary says firefighters were called to an area near the train tracks at Pioneer and Hickory Roads shortly after 5pm. A MABAS Box Alarm was called to bring several brush trucks and personnel to assist with firefighting efforts. All fires extinguished without any structures being compromised. Railway traffic was suspended during the incident for the safety of firefighters who were working in close proximity to the railroad. There were several neighboring fire departments that were called to assist along with City and County police.
