NORTH ANDOVER -- Even though firefighters began "demobilizing" last Thursday after a forest fire off Sharpners Pond Road was largely reduced to ash, crews were called again to a blaze in the area Sunday night.
Fire officials said crews were back at work Monday morning in the Boxford State Forest, which lies on the border of Boxford, Middleton and North Andover. Firefighters from all three towns joined in the effort on Monday.
