Mass National Guard to Aid in Battling NY Wildfire

08:51PM / Monday, October 26, 2026

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Firefighters from three states are battling a wildfire on the Massachusetts border.

The blaze was first reported Sunday in New York State's 678-acre Berlin State Forest along the state border.

About 70 firefighters from New York State, Massachusetts and Vermont have been working to contain the blaze, which has consumed more than 150 acres so far and moved into Williamstown.

Gov. Maura Healey has activated the National Guard to assist state and local firefighters.

The National Guard will join New York State Police helicopters in using aircraft to drop water on the flames in remote, rocky areas that are hard for firefighters to reach.

Two Berlin, N.Y., residents told WTEN News that they woke to smoke on Sunday. They first reported it and then hiked into the woods to find the fire because of how long it was going to take for fire services to arrive.

"This is an extremely dangerous and treacherous area," said Jay Wilson, director of public safety for Rensselaer County, N.Y., at a broadcast press conference on Monday. "It's taking us approximately about 15, 20 minutes to get to what we call the trailhead in this area, and then from the trailhead, it's another another mile and a half, almost two miles into the woods and then they've got to trek another mile on foot."
