A dozen firefighters are battling a brush fire in East Saint John.
Platoon chief Barry Oickle of the Saint John Fire Department tells CHSJ News the call came in around 230 this afternoon about a fire in an area off Eagle Boulevard behind Simonds High School.
Oickle tells us the conditions are not making things worse but the woods are dry despite the rain we had over the weekend.
He says crews have been successful so far in keeping the fire away from the tree line.
The fire is under control now and crews are working on putting out hot spots.
