District F spoke with 1582 about 10 minutes ago about part of the track 2/4 side of Devon Bridge (CP 261) on fire. The RTC also mentioned numerous brush fires east of Stratford on the track 4 side.

EDIT 2201 hours:
1584 has just been given the same message. They will be on track 3 through that area.

Whatever the problem was, it seems not to have been that bad. All 4 tracks on Devon Bridge were back in service within a few hours.

The skirt/bumpers around the Moses Wheeler Bridge were on fire and they couldn't fight it from above so they brought in the Sikorsky Fire Boat.
