A reported brush fire in Bethel last night was quickly extinguished.  While the outside fire was small, Bethel Fire officials say they have been anticipating calls like this as the state is nearing the brush fire season.  The quickly warming air, low humidity, and abundance of fallen brush and dry vegetation makes for the perfect conditions for brush fires.  Burn permits are required for outside fires in Bethel and can be obtained through the fire marshal’s office.
