Obtained from Google Earth on October 6th.
I was very interested in the video that my friends at the B10 NJ Wildfire Page shared on their website earlier today, thank-you! Being somewhat familiar with Vermont though less familiar with the area where this small brushfire burned on Brownell Mountain in Williston VT, I wanted to share the video with you. Brownell Mountain is 850 feet in elevation.
If you have watched this short video then you know that the fire is about an acre in size and was started sometime on Saturday, October 4th. I was pleased to know from the video that the large firefighting helicopter, a SkyCrane, that is based in Lebanon NH to help northern New England during a very dry summer. Expectations were that the fire would be fully contained by Sunday evening, October 5th, I have not been able to ascertain if this brushfire is indeed contained. As the brushfire is in a hard to reach area on Brownell Mountain, the assistance of the Skycrane made a huge difference in assisting the firefighters on the ground work the brushfire. In addition, see this October 5th news report from WCAX. Kudos to the all the firefighters who are working this brushfire to keep everyone safe.
