UPDATE. The fire is out of control. Over 200 fire fighters. They have been begging for support from the government. We were denied air tankers and national guard . People are devastated. They are dozing and plowing yards to try and make a fire break. Hot ashes are falling in the town of Palmerton on the other side of the mountain.
We were told to get any organic material out from around houses. That is what we were doing all day even though is isn't close YET!. Its a half mile west
A local Polaris dealer who we do machine work for donated all their UTV's to help get fire fighters in to the Appalachian trail. The owner told my son the fire was started by a camp fire on the trail. Biden has the National guard on stand by for the white house after the election. so they are not available for us.
Local people have been evacuated west of my house the fire is slowly coming east. Hoping for no wind. Our government sucks.
