Six Bar Harbor firefighters responded to a small grass fire on Kebo Ridge Road Tuesday afternoon. According to Fire Chief Matt Bartlett, the fire took just a few minutes to extinguish. Firefighters were unable to determine the cause of the fire, but Bartlett said conditions are very dry. “People need to be vigilant about disposing of cigarettes and ashes, and make sure their campfires are out,” he said.
