Coming up blue Mountain they have fire trucks out there making sure everybody goes slow on 145 coming into 248. They have it blocked off where they can’t go up to timberline or come down that direction but you can’t get the Palmerton and you can get off at the Slatington exit and the Walnutport area. It is very bad out.
Folks are out there on the side of the road trying to get pictures and videos. Unfortunately folks trying to get videos are blocking the roadway. Cops and Fire Police are coming to have you removed as we type.

Drone video of the brush fire. As you can see in some places this thing is still burning pretty good. I couldn't even imagine being up there trying to fight this and not be able to see.
