November 18th

One of the first things I did this morning was to go the Town of Warwick's (NY) Facebook page. In an update posted in the early evening of November 17th on the Town of Warwick Facebook page they say that the state of emergency is extended one more day at least through November 18th, schools are closed, local roads remain closed and voluntary evacuations remain in place for November 18th. The local middle school is an evacuation site. The voluntary evacuations are in place so that firefighting apparatus can easily access the areas that they need to in order to contain the fire. No homes are damaged and no homes are currently threatened

On the night of November 16th, the Jennings Creek fire at least came close to jumping containment lines in Orange County New York causing voluntary evacuations of more than 100 homes. The video I embedded above appears to be from morning news on November 17th.
The good news is that according to the Town of Warwick's morning update on Facebook that I share below efforts to protect structures last night in what Warwick officials are calling the Sterling Forest Fire were successful and no structures are currently threatened.
