STOWE, Vt. -
Firefighters in Stowe say the wildfire
on Mount Mansfield is now out.
A campfire got out of control due to
wind gusts Monday morning and the fire burned overnight into Tuesday. More than
2 acres have burned. The remote location meant that for several hours Monday,
crews had to backpack water to the site. Tuesday, fire crews began pumping
water from a beaver pond, and off and on showers also helped. Fourteen fire
departments and 100 firefighters worked to put the fire out.
