Canoe Creek Brush Fire Now Contained

And take a look at your screen here officials in Blair County say almost 300 acres burned in a large brush fire that started on Friday Afternoon and continued to burn well into the weekend.

They also say no injuries were reported and the blaze is fully contained even though residents still might notice lingering smoke.

The Geesey Yown Fire Company says firefighters were sent to the fire near Canoe Creek State Park just before 4 pm on Friday.

Authorities say crews had trouble containing the blaze because of the windy and dry conditions.

Fire officials say “it is unwise for people to still be burning.”
