Crews are still working to put out hot spots in a brush fire on Blue Mountain in Plainfield Township.
That fire came close to several homes, and even the Appalachian Trail. It began shortly after 2 p.m. Tuesday near several homes on Mountain Avenue. We talked with a homeowner who did not want to be identified, but who saw the flames through her window.
"It was very scary. I called 911 right away, called my husband to get home. We got our hoses and started squirting and just prayed to God it wouldn't get any closer to our house," said the homeowner.
The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources said the fire ended up spreading across about 14 acres in total.
"There was 19 or 20 volunteer fire departments here helping with suppression efforts," said DCNR Wildland Fire Investigator Greg Reese.
