	Five departments battle 10 acre Liberty brush fire A stiff south wind fanned what was apparently a legal open burn in Liberty Township on Tuesday into a full-fledged brush fire requiring firefighters from five departments to extinguish. Liberty Township Volunteer Fire Chief Bill Branham told the Chesterton Tribune today that at its peak the brush fire had spread to 10 acres of pasture on C.R. 600N east of Meridian Road.
