Crews Are Checking For Hotspots And Patrolling East MT Fire Area

Crews Are Checking For Hotspots And Patrolling East MT. Fire Area Although the East Mountain wildland fire crossed over 1,000 acres of forest and land, it just left the Appalachian Trail a little damaged.  This fire is now the state s largest wildland fire in more than two decades. Crews have started dousing hotspots and patrolling the perimeter to make sure it doesn t spread. That could take several more days. The fire was 90 percent contained as of Tuesday evening, according to the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services. More than 120 firefighters from 19 departments in Massachusetts and Vermont have helped battle the fire while the National Guard and Massachusetts State Police dropped water on it from helicopters.

Fire in Clarksburg 90% contained, crews focus on mop-up operation

By Francesca Paris, The Berkshire Eagle As of Monday night, around 950 acres had burned, and the fire did not grow overnight between Monday and Tuesday, according to the department. By Tuesday morning, the burden of the response had shifted to state and federal firefighters, who moved their focus to patrolling the perimeter of the fire and putting out hotspots. “We’ll probably hold it in that status for the next couple of days because we don’t have any rain,” said Dave Celino, chief fire warden for Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation. “We’ll end up with firefighters patrolling that fire until we get a significant change in the weather, with some precipitation, or we just finally don’t find any hotspots up there.”
