The Central Park Fire scorched about 6 acres on private land near Interstate 90 mile marker 292, and its cause was undetermined as of Wednesday, according to the National Interagency Wildfire Enterprise Geospatial Portal.<\/p>\n
After 30 hours of firefighting,\u00a0Manhattan Volunteer Fire Department finished mopping up operations there on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n
“However, the work was not over. Hoses had to be cleaned, dry ones had to be reloaded, trucks had to be fueled, etc.,” reads a March 23 statement from the agency. “Sunday, MVFD was dispatched once again to this area for a potential hotspot. As a precautionary measure, the area was once again saturated with water to mitigate any further rekindling of the fire.”<\/p>\n
The wildfire ignited March 20, and firefighters from multiple agencies were on scene through the night. Agencies included DNRC, which sent a helicopter, Central Valley Fire, Amsterdam Rural Fire, Gallatin Gateway Fire Department, and Gallatin County Emergency Management.<\/p>\n
“Our volunteers are great and we appreciate the time they selflessly give,” reads the statement from Manhattan Volunteer Fire Department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Central Park Fire scorched about 6 acres on private land near Interstate 90 mile marker 292, and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":175333,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[2136,69664,67819,59946,40299,9664,69663,17827,545,18447,9663,544,9665,75,84,83,45754,49814,9,24,63,69662,308,4745,1986,25998],"class_list":["post-175332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-california","tag-california-counties","tag-combustion","tag-disasters","tag-emergency-management","tag-emergency-services","tag-environment-of-california","tag-environment-of-the-united-states","tag-fire","tag-fire-department","tag-firefighting","tag-fires","tag-hazards","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-natural-disasters","tag-natural-hazards","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-park-fire","tag-public-safety","tag-public-services","tag-safety","tag-wildfires"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175332"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175332\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
