James D. Russell of Sperryville was preparing his garden for spring planting. He started a fire in a barrel in his garden and then went to work. According to James, “I turned around and the fire had gotten away and was spreading fast. I tried to stop it but it just got out of control.” He left the scene and headed for Baldwin’s West End Shell Station to call the Sperryville Fire Department.
According to Richard Jenkins, “I saw James go down the road in a hurry, I saw the smoke and then came up here. It took the Sperryville Fire Department about ten minutes to get here.”
Sheriff John Henry Woodward was the first to arrive at the scene. Walter Jenkins and Ricky Lillard arrived shortly thereafter in a brush truck. Within an hour the fire was contained and after refilling the water provided by the water truck the area was thoroughly doused with water and the fire was extinguished.
