Huge brush fire erupts in NY's Rockland County, homes threatened. Chopper 4 is there
A large brush fire erupted in New York's Rockland County Friday afternoon, chewing through tree lines perilously close to homes and a railroad track as emergency crews hurried to evacuate impacted buildings.Chopper 4 was over the scene, capturing frantic homeowners watching helplessly as intense flames licked fences around their properties. At least three structures were said to be engulfed by 2:45 p.m., and the fire was intensifying.
The train tracks seen running in the area are freight tracks, and investigators say preliminary information indicates a train kicked up embers as it moved along, sparking the fire. Train traffic has been halted on the route.Highway 304 was also said to be closed about 2 miles south of where a command post was set up.
