Berlin resident sounds alarm after discovering wildfire in the woods behind his home
Fifteen departments from New York, Massachusetts, and Vermont have been hard at work battling what is now a more than 50 acre wild fire. The fire has spread across the state line into Massachusetts, and it all started on Mattison Hollow Road in Berlin, near the Taconic Crest Trail. The resident who first found the fire, James Fosburgh, tells us that he and his wife woke up to smoke coming from the hill behind their home. He says that's when they began their hike to try and help.
