Bay District Volunteer Fire Department responded to a call for a brush fire near the skate park at Nicolet Park in Lexington park at 2:35 p.m. Tuesday afternoon.
Two firefighters responded in the Brush 3 truck in a matter of minutes and went to work on the fire. They quickly extinguished it and went back in service. A unit from Navel District Fire and EMS out of Patuxent River was on it’s way back to the station, and it responded briefly as well.
Witnesses said two juveniles were seen in the area throwing fireworks just prior to the fire. The St. Mary’s County Sheriffs Office is investigating.
