The Elkton Fire Department responded to two calls on Saturday, August 19, according to Assistant Chief Payton Blade.

The first call came in Saturday afternoon at 4:30 as a brush fire that had gotten out of control. When firefighters arrived on the scene at 1546 Vinta Mill Road, it was found to be a small grass fire, which was quickly extinguished. The fire had originated from a trash fire that was left unattended.

Elkton firemen were called to a motor vehicle accident Saturday at midnight. The single vehicle accident was on Market Street in Elkton. The vehicle ran off the road behind David’s Market taking down a chain link fence and ending up on its side in Beaty Branch. The driver was taken to Hillside Hospital by Giles County Ambulance Service.
