Dear South Mountain Region Friends and Partners,
Update 4/25/25 at 11:30AM.
We are writing to request your help responding as a community to the wildfires in Michaux State Forest. The Hammonds Rock and Thompson Hollow fires are still active and evolving. Containing the fires is difficult and high risk weather conditions for fire spread are expected throughout the day. Right now, the focus is on helping first responders, Michaux State Forest staff, and Parks staff.
Please help to lend a hand. Here is what you can do:
- Please share this information with your network. Most critically, advise your communities to avoid the areas of
Michaux State Forest north of Rt 30, Kings Gap and Pine Grove State Park, and roads surrounding the area.
- Repost this Facebook Post to your professional and personal pages.
- Share this email/this information with your contacts.
- Support our First-Responders: Needs vary based on each Fire Department, but consider support through monetary donations or non-perishable items like Gatorade, snacks, and water at stations.
The situation is rapidly evolving. Here are some resources to stay up to date on the fires.
- PA DCNR and Michuax State Forest will continue to provide mapping and reports of fire containment.
