Around 315, Tuesday, Monticello firefighters were paged to a woods fire, near the intersection of Midway Route and Wilson Mill Road.

No report was available at the time of the fire about how it started.

Firefighters were sent to area homes on Wilson Mill Road, to protect them, during the early stages of the blaze, as the fire line was moving to the south.

It is believed that aside from timberland, no other damage was done.
