Crews were dispatched at 9:56 p.m. to the area behind the Langhorne Borough library branch on Flowers Avenue and the adjoining the Woods Services property for reports of a brush fire.
When they pulled up, firefighters discovered a 20-by-30-foot area ablaze, with flames spreading to a nearby tree, according to Langhorne-Middletown Fire Company Chief Frank Farry.
The tree was already dying and the fire had penetrated its core.
Crews had to cut the burning tree down, Farry said.

No injuries were reported and no buildings sustained damage, Farry said.
