One person has been arrested after causing a brush fire in Baltic Saturday afternoon, according to fire officials.
Fire crews said a person was lighting small fires in the woods without a permit and the wind swept the fire, which caused it to expand.
Officials said the brush fire expanded over about three acres of land. The fire started at a high altitude in town with high wind gusts, according to fire officials.
At least five fire departments responded to the area of 95 Plain Hill Rd. Saturday afternoon.
