large brush fire in Westford at the same time.

There was a mile-long brush fire on Route 2 at the end of June which
shut down that highway, an 11-acre brush fire near Spencer on July 12,
a brush fire that started on July 11 in Townsend that burned for
several day,; and there have been random smaller brush fires reported
