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.
âWeâll probably hold it in that status for the next couple of days because we donât have any rain,â said Dave Celino, chief fire warden for Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation. âWeâll end up with firefighters patrolling that fire until we get a significant change in the weather, with some precipitation, or we just finally donât find any hotspots up there.â
