On Saturday afternoon, Stony Hill Volunteer Fire Company responded to a hillside in the area of 30 Hickok Avenue.  Bethel Fire Department and West Redding Volunteer Fire Department also responded. 

Danbury firefighters contained a blaze on Sunday morning off Briar Ridge Road.  Firefighters were on scene for about an hour.  A plane on approach to Danbury Municipal Airport spotted smoke about a mile to the west.  A  firefighter reported the blaze was threatening a nearby home, but did not get closer.  The Ridgefield Fire Department was called for mutual aide.
