Area Firefighters Battle Blue Mountain Blaze

Over the weekend, a wildfire erupted atop Blue Mountain in Lehigh Tp (Northampton County), near its border with Carbon County. Thus far, this conflagration has had the decency to confine itself to state gamelands. Area firefighters from all over the county have responded to contain the blaze. 

A good source of up-to-date information concerning this fire can be found at Northampton County Emergency Alerts. 

There are currently three active wildfires in Pa. According to the Pa DCNR, nearly all are the result of burning debris.

    hopefully they'll have it under control soon...God bless them...I grew up hunting/hiking that mountain, and the section where it's burning is literally one huge briar patch, so at least there's one small good thing...

    It’s great to see the outstanding community support for the firefighters. Remember they are volunteers.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
