What began as burning leaves on a windy autumn day, ended in a fence and garage catching fire with an estimated $45,000 in damages in Yorkville, according to fire officials.
The Bristol Kendall Fire Protection District responded around 6:15 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15, to the 0-100 block of Acorn Lane, Yorkville, and when the fire crew arrived, the fire had spread along a fence extending to the outside of a one-car garage, according to a news release from the fire district.
