Fire started last night, continuing to burn today

A brush fire that ignited Monday night on Township property is still burning Tuesday, police said.

The fire was first reported around 9 p.m. at 311 West Farms Rd., which is township-owned property.

Instead of battling the flames, fire companies because of the size of the area decided to let it burn, according to Sgt. Eileen Dodd, police spokeswoman.
