An extensive brush fire broke out on the mountainside opposite Grand Case Airport around 6:30pm Friday. Capitaine Arnaud Gerard said the back road between Hope Estate and Grand Case Airport was closed to allow access for the fire trucks. Three fire trucks and firemen were dispatched to the scene. The fire was being fanned by the wind and was later brought under control. The land belongs to the Laurence family. Story on page . Photo by Ronny Busby (Facebook).
