In another thread yesterday evening I mentioned a heavy Helo in the Bethel area.

The Lewiston Sun Journal article explains....

Maine Forest Service has been back for a fly-over this morning.

NWS has put up a Red Flag Warning for many areas of Maine.

Several camps were destroyed yesterday in a wildfire in the next town north of us. We have a Red Flag today as well.

Thanks for posting this! 3rd day of warnings in southern nh. Woods around these parts are a tinder box,no shade from the hardwoods due to lack of leaves and dry wind really are a bad scene.Good time to give smokers flack.Feel like I am back in Cali with the dry air and fire threat..Hope Coos county stays moister so the Whites can avoid a repeat of 1908[?],which was a really bad fire year....

Ditto down here in SE NY. The air is very dry, and it is very windy. We had a pretty big fire a few years ago (3000 acres in Minnewaska) in April during these same conditions. The Weather Channel has been broadcasting warnings as well.
