Hennessey Firefighters responded to a brush fire Saturday night at about 8 pm southeast of Hennessey. The fire was located in the tree line south of Jay States home, 2 south of Hennessey on Hwy 81, 2 ½ east, and about ¾ south. States said, “It was a controlled burn they put out earlier that day but it flared up in the trees. We wanted to be sure it was out because the winds were expected to come up on Sunday.”
