Patterson brush fire: Stiff winds caused a brush fire to burn five acres off Big Elm Road in Patterson March 26, 2012.

It may be a "tale as old as time," but this weekend, it's a show as free as air, as M.A. PATTERSON - Patterson firefighters had just returned to their headquarters Thursday after dousing a bedroom fire on Westgate Terrace when the alarm sounded for another blaze.

Putnam Lake firefighters open up the roof of a house that caught fire today at 4 Ottawa Road in Patterson.

A woman burning sticks and twigs in her oven to stay warm was left homeless Sunday after the flames spread through a faulty flue pipe to her attic.
