A fire began on Breakneck Ridge near Cold Spring, N.Y., early afternoon Monday, March 9.
On the morning of Tuesday, March 10, officials reported 150 acres at Breakneck have burned. Fires continue to burn north and east. The current fire line is Breakneck Bypass Trail. Twenty New York State Parks Taconic staff are fighting the fire, as are 20 DEC Rangers. Two Helicopters are dumping water from the Hudson onto the fires. DEC is using a drone for assessment and strategy planning purposes. The Metro North Fire Chief was onsite at this morning's briefing. Officials have stated the fire was caused by a train.
Route 9D has reopened but the Wilkinson and Breakneck trailheads remain closed. Eleven cars in the Breakneck parking lot have burned; all hikers were evacuated and no injuries were reported. Our Trail Conference Stewards' shed, supplies, and educational materials, worth approximately $6,000, were completely reduced to ashes. Those fires are all now extinguished.
The Wilkinson Trail is closed. The Breakneck Trail is closed. The Breakneck Bypass Trail is closed. No volunteers are needed at this point.
