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.
