Pictures of the fire on Crow's Nest Mountain:
The day it started and where. This small fire just above Route
218, which runs from West Point to Cornwall, might have been
stopped by diverting several loads of water from the helicopters
which were then operating on the Bear Mountain fire 4 miles south
of Cold Spring. This picture was taken about 45 minutes from first
alarms.
After the fire: The brown areas show extensive damage to the larger trees.
Many of these trees are dead due to the heat that extended up to two feet below the surface, killing the fine feed roots and
boiling the sap and destroying the bark.
