Brighton Fire spent Friday afternoon at the scene of a large brush fire on Browncroft Blvd.

 Several companies were called to assist including Penfield, Pittsford, West Webster, Egypt, East Rochester, and Fairport.

 The smoke could be seen for several miles and the fire was quickly contained.

Firefighters spent the afternoon hosing the marsh to keep it from reigniting.
