AntrimNo damage due to furniture burn

The Antrim Fire Department told a resident to stop burning furniture after responding to a report of a structure fire early Wednesday morning. No buildings were damaged.

Firefighters responded to 135 Clinton Road after receiving a call from a neighbor at 6:13 a.m. who believed the barn on the property was on fire, Fire Chief Marshall Gale said. Although the barn wasnโ€™t on fire, the outdoor fire was โ€œa lot closer to the structure than I would have liked to have seen,โ€ he said, and they ultimately issued a cease and desist order to the residents for burning furniture, which counts as โ€œnon-permissable materials,โ€ Gale said.
