MID-HUDSON – Fire departments across the region were kept busy again this weekend as dry conditions and winds spread brush fires.
In Cragsmoor, firefighters from Ulster, Sullivan and Orange counties fought a large brush fire on Laurel Mountain Road.
Numerous departments were called in to provide tanker trucks.
Isolated areas had some rainfall on Saturday afternoon. In Livingston Manor, torrential rain came down for about 20 minutes. Other areas had sprinkles, but nothing substantial as the dry spell has continued for weeks.
