Two firefighters treated for exhaustion after N.Y. blaze


By Paul Brooks
Times Herald-Record

Milton, N.Y. — Firefighters from a dozen or more companies were fighting two brush fires in remote sections of the Town of Marlborough Monday afternoon.

One fire was in the vicinity of 504 Old Indian Road, while the other was in the vicinity of 203 Bailey's Gap. The exact amount of acreage being consumed could not immediately be learned, but smoke from both fires could be seen from a mile or more away in the town’s hamlet of Milton.

The fire on Old Indian Road reportedly burned a barn. That turned out to be untrue. But two firefighters were treated for exhaustion after clambering up and down the steep hillside.
