Several area fire departments responded to a fire in a field on New Year’s Day.  The owner of the property was attempting to burn some leaves in a ditch when the fire got out of hand and spread to approximately two acres on Nellie Lane in Trion.  Nellie Lane is a dead-end road located off Cummings Road in the Welcome Hill area.  The Trion Fire Department was assisted by the Summerville, Teloga and Hays Correctional Fire Departments.  No structures were damaged.
