It took about 20 firefighters from Perth East detachments in Shakespeare and Sebringville to extinguish a brush fire late Sunday afternoon.
The call came in around 4:15 p.m., Perth East/West Perth fire Chief Bill Hunter said, as smoke billowed from a forest off of Perth Line 37 approaching Perth Road 107 just outside of Shakespeare.
Four tankers and two engines were needed to put out the fire, and the scene was cleared by 7:30 p.m.
The cause is being investigated, Hunter said.
