The Red Bud Fire Department responded to two fire calls on Saturday, Sept. 13.
The first was a mutual aid call around 8 p.m. with the Hecker Fire Department for a large brush fire on Beck Road near LL Road.
Also paged for aid were the New Athens Fire Department and Monroe County EMS.
The fire was quickly put out and Red Bud Fire Chief Sean Landgraf noted that Red Bud firemen didn’t make it to the fire before being told to disregard.
No injuries were reported.
