Firefighters put out a bush fire that had broken out in two different places along the banks of the Millstone River.
Nanaimo Fire Rescue was called out at about 9 p.m. Thursday to Barsby Park and according to crews on scene, found two different fires along the northern bank. One crew fought one of the fires from across the river on the Barsby Avenue side, while another crew extinguished a fire further up the hill close to Caledonia Avenue.
Crews said it wasn’t just trees on fire, also garbage and possibly a tent.
Firefighters said the fires were under control and would not spread.
