Several residents shared updates on social media describing heavy emergency response and road closures.
One person wrote on Facebook, “I live on Munson st across from the VA, 5 trucks all greenfiekd just sped by. Colrain humvee and a pickup just tore behind the VA building.”
Another added, “Brush fire along the railroad tracks – Wisdom Way and Laurel Street. 10 departments responding.”
A third resident reported, “There’s a fire on the tracks by the storage place close to Munson street.”
Another post stated, “When I went to FFCU at 10am, some fools were burning brush on Monson St. Unsure if that’s the original culprit or not but it would not surprise me with how windy it is. I attempted to drive that way but the road is blocked off at Upper Road above the highway.”
One resident said, “My friend says it’s across the street from her house on Munson. Started on the tracks but threatening structures.”
Another report added, “Upper Rd in Deerfield is closed detouring onto lower rd and lower road is full of smoke so I imagine there’s a fire there too.”
Authorities have not yet issued an official statement on the fire. The extent of the blaze and any structural impact remain unclear.
