There was a Forest fire on the ridge overlooking Wurtsboro this weekend. It started by the airport and spread over to the other side of the mountain. 400 acres were burnt and 21 fire companies fought the fire. The fire started Saturday afternoon was under control by 8:00 PM Sunday night

Greetings!
I really like the two pics of the Wurtsboro fire.

I'm building a website on the History of the NYS Forest Rangers and found your Wurtsboro fire pics by way of Google Images.
I'm contacting you to ask permission to use the two pics posted and maybe others that you may have taken. The fact that these are your photos would be conspicuously noted.
Pics of NY fires raging as this one did at night are quite hard to find. Only the fuel types in and around Gunks and the Pine Barons of LI have a potention for such extreme fire conditions.
Look forward to hearing from you.
