Route 206 in the area was closed partially when we got here. I imagine its more extensively closed at this point, so avoid the area as much as possible, and its too early at this point to talk about a cause of this fire. I know that there are several Fire Departments called to the scene to try and help local Fire Departments get this fire under control and knocked down, so right now its still very, very much, high flames you can see there, were several hundred yards away, but my photographer is able to zoom in
