375ds agoA cloud of smoke could be seen for
miles Tuesday as authorities battled a three-acre brush fire in West Nyack.
News 12 obtained Clarkstown Police
Department drone video of the conditions overhead and was on the
scene as
multiple fire departments took turns sending firefighters in to knock it down.
Central Nyack fire officials say the
brush fire started in a rocky and wooded area near Strawberry Hill Lane and
Route 303 that’s owned by Rockland County.
News 12 found a hiking trail nearby the scene. Authorities say it’s not yet known if someone accidentally caused the fire.
Neighbors seemed alarmed
by the activity.
“I hope everything’s alright, hope
everyone’s safe and hope it didn’t get into anyone’s house or anything," said Fareed
Qumbargi.
Fire officials say the wind and
wooded terrain complicated firefighting efforts but reported most of the fire
was out by mid-afternoon.
They say no one was hurt and that
houses nearby were not affected.
Officials say the cause of the fire
is under investigation.
