WOODSTOCK — Firefighters responding to a brush fire near Taylor Brooke Winery warned motorists Sunday afternoon about emergency vehicles, tankers and personnel along Route 171, according to a Woodstock Volunteer Fire Association notice relayed by WINY Radio.
WINY’s November 1 report reproduced a department message timed 3:52 p.m. The message said limited driveway access required emergency vehicles to stage along Route 171, across from the winery entrance. It asked drivers approaching from the Rockie Hill and Taylor’s Corner directions to slow down and watch for tankers entering and leaving the area.
Quiet Corner Alerts separately described a brush fire involving a small shed and threatening nearby garages in a preliminary dispatch-based report timed 3:43 p.m. Its 4:01 p.m. update said the fire was under control, with no reported spread beyond the initial shed. That account is preliminary and has not been independently confirmed with the fire department.
The sources reviewed do not establish injuries, the amount of property damage, when crews cleared or whether traffic conditions had returned to normal. The earlier staging warning is not confirmation that Route 171 was closed.
