NUNDA – A grass and brush fire nearly cost a homeowner a barn early Monday evening when a small pit fire ignited dry grass and burned a swath of land behind a residence on Meyers Road at about 5:07 p.m.
The home and barn sit on a steep slope covered in dry thickets, which the homeowner was concerned might have burned down the entire slope West of Meyers Road toward Mill Street.
