Three fire departments battled a wild land fire in Pike County on Sunday.  The Petersburg City and Jefferson and Patoka Township Volunteer Departments were called to an area east of I69.  Petersburg firefighters on social media report 70 acres was consumed by the blaze.  Special thanks was given to some teen cadets who were training at the station and went out with the Petersburg Department when the call came in.  There were no injuries.
