Ah boy lets hope they get it under control quickly
Wildfires are all over the place. I now volunteer as a wildland firefighter; here’s hoping others will join in also
@LSWellesley How wonderful of you! The times we live in 😕
Damn, damn, damn! A kid, no less. We will mourn him. It would help to know his name.
We are looking at training my grandson to be a wildland firefighter. 🔥 He is a baby too

@gemswinc Rest in peace. Very heroic young man but so painful to lose so young.
Sterling Forest State Park is about 50 miles northwest of New York City.
Gov. Kathy Hochul's office said in a statement on Saturday that state officials were working to contain two fires 🔥 in the park. The larger one was about 300 acres and extended into New Jersey. The smaller one was about nine acres and was near the Appalachian Trail. - NYTimes
