Brush fire being fought at farm preserve in Burrillville

BURRILLVILLE -- Firefighters are reported to be battling a large brush fire this evening at Addieville East Farm, a 650-acre area in the Mapleville section.

The farm has been rated by Esquire magazine as one of the top shooting preserves in the United States.

The fire comes on a day when the National Weather Service had issued a "red flag" for northern Rhode Island, warning of possible fires due to dry, windy conditions.
