Heavy Fire upon arrival, great response by all Departments involved! Excellent job by all hands. Fast set-up of water sources and relays. BHFD 2032- Awesome job with water supply- only lost water at scene for about 2 minutes during the entire operation.

Suspicious fire! Investigators from C&O Zone 4, along with "Blaze" located several hits. Investigation turned over to NYSP.

Thank you to all who responded! Great Job by all.
