Several Northwest Arkansas Fire Departments joined forces on Thursday to fight a brush fire.  Officials say the fire began as a control burn but became a 300 foot wide blaze.  The fire was in Goshen and threaten homes in the area. 

Goshen Fire Chief Nathan Wood said, “Our major concern is to protect the homes and contain the fire to as small an area as we can, but protect the homes first."

Crews from Goshen, Fayetteville, Round Mountain, and Knob Hill were able to contain the fire about 4 p.m. on Thursday.
