A brush fire in the woods at 151 Westwood Rd., Woodbury, is now contained, but the clean-up will take a while, Woodbury Fire Chief Janet Morgan told Patch.

"Right now I have no clue where or when it started, nor how many acres have burned," Morgan said.

She said a neighbor reported smelling smoke yesterday -- Monday, April 16. 
Roxbury Ambulance was on scene bringing bottled water to the firefighters on scene.
