Adam Kurtz, Isaac Yoder and Kari Kurtz tend to one of the dozens of fires set up in the peach orchards at Red Fire Farm in the predawn hours Friday morning in Granby. Volunteers and employees gathered from midnight until sunrise on Thursday and Friday in an effort to save the 3 acres of budding trees from frost as temperatures dropped overnight. Much warmer weather is on the horizon next week.
