SCARBOROUGH (WGME) -- "Scarborough firefighters say a campfire that was not extinguished properly sparked a seven-acre brush fire near homes and railroad tracks on the Scarborough marsh Thursday afternoon.
"The fire, which is now out, brought a major response from firefighters, including from the Maine Forest Service, which used a helicopter and water from the marsh to douse the flames.
"Scarborough Fire Chief Rich Kindelan says Maine Forest Rangers are currently looking into what started the fire, but for now, the cause is still unknown."

Coloradans: Be prepared for this weekend’s wind storm! Batten down the hatches, secure anything that’s outside, and, for the love of Pete, NO OPEN FLAMES OR SPARKS OF ANY KIND outside! Be safe!
