OWEGO, NY (607NewsNow) – Major damage has been avoided after a brush fire in Owego.

On April 18, Campville firefighters were called to Lisle Road for the reported blaze, which officials say was “fast-moving” due to dry conditions and wind. Responding units knocked the fire down but thanked the homeowner for using a fire extinguisher to slow the spread before crews arrived.

Investigators say that tree branches in contact with primary power lines caused a spark that ignited the brush.

The Campville Fire Department reminds you that a statewide burn ban remains in effect through May 14.
