Kinnelon, Butler officials respond to assist with brush fire Thursday.
A brush fire that blew a smoky haze over Route 23 Thursday evening was allegedly caused by three teenagers who were playing around with fire behind a Stonleigh Terrace residence, a Riverdale police officer on the scene said. "It's just a fire gone bad by some kids," he said. The officer said no one was injured and that trees did not appear to be on fire but that the smoke was largely caused by leaves catching on fire.
