| As you may realize, we have had almost
no rain this month. Fires broke out in
Harriman over the weekend. It it continues dry, a park closure is
possible even at this time of the year. Hopefully, it will not come to
that.
Status of the fires:
Three Fires (as of 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, 10/31/01):
- Surebridge Mt., 450 acres, contained
- T-14 & T-17, 7 acres by power lines, contained
- Doodletown, 1/4 acre by school house, out.
If Harriman is dry enough to burn, so is almost everything else in
the area. Be extra careful and be our eyes in the forest. Report any
fires to the appropriate park or 911. If you see people building
campfires explain (politely) the high fire danger to them and ask them
to desist (politely). If you get any static, report them as well.
