With South Grade School letting out at noon Friday, lot’s of people saw the dark smoke from the fire south of the Wedgewood Subdivision.
At least I think it was in Four Colonies. It might have been on the south edge of Wedgewood.
My son and I drove toward the smoke on the way home, but couldn’t get close enough to see the burning house.
From the size of the smoke plume, it looks as if a family will be spending Memorial Day Weekend and a lot longer somewhere else.
Driving back to Lakewood, we saw this elegant egret (at least I think it is an egret). It was looking at the dark smoke.
On the way home, we saw a back-up Crystal Lake fire engine going to the Bard Road station to replace the engines that went to the fire.
