Fire crews battled a blazing forest fire in Powell County on Saturday afternoon.
According to Powell County Judge Executive Eddie Barnes, Stanton Fire crews responded to a forest fire around 4 p.m. on Saturday.
By the time crews arrived, the blaze had already consumed a couple of acres on Furnace Mountain. Officials say downed power lines sparked the fire, and high winds made containment difficult.
With help from Clay City and Middle Fork fire departments, crews got the fire under control around 7 p.m.
