Fire put out on Vt's Mount Mansfield
September 4, 2012
STOWE, Vt. (AP) — Firefighters have put out a fire in steep terrain on Mount Mansfield in Stowe.
The fire started early Monday after winds fueled embers from a campfire above the Long Trail’s Taylor Lodge. The embers ignited dry moss and about two acres of land.
WCAX-TV reports that firefighters continued to battle the fire and were able to extinguish it on Tuesday.
The steep terrain made it tough to fight the fire.
