The damage was estimated at more than $5,000.
Officials say that this is the second fire in less than a week that they have responded to as a result of open burning.
Penn Fire would like to remind everyone to please use extreme caution when burning. However, they advise that you don't burn at all due to the possibility of damaging your property, your neighbor's property, and possibly even yourself.
