CREWS BATTLE MOUNTAIN FIRE AT CACAPON RESORT STATE PARK

Firefighters from the Eastern Panhandle and several surrounding states have been battling a growing forest fire since Monday, near the Cacapon Resort State Park. The fire is about 10 acres, and spans both sides of the ridge near the park. Mutual aid is being received from Allegany, Washington and Frederick counties, as well as several of those in West Virginia. Dry and warm conditions have made it difficult to stop the spread of the fire.
