A brush fire spread to the roof on a barn on an Easton property, but firefighters and the homeowner put it out safely.
The homeowner and his son were burning brush in their back yard when an ember got loose from the burning brush and landed on the roof of an adjacent barn on the property, setting the roof on fire, according to the Easton fire department.
Firefighters said the family was lucky because they called 911 as soon as they saw the roof on fire.
By the time the fire trucks got to the scene, the homeowner was dousing the roof with a garden hose. Firefighters put it out the rest of the way and it didn't take long.
No one was injured, but the barn roof was damaged.
