On Saturday morning we honored our first responders with a “clap out” as many of the departments were finally headed home as the forest fires were over 80% contained 🌲🔥
By Saturday night, we calling them all to come back as the winds kicked up and the fire was reignited
Without hesitation, they all returned and spent overnight battling the fires as they spread closer to the village 🚒
The US Army was dispatched and “Smoke Jumpers” from Montana/Colorado arrived in addition to support from State helicopters - all dumping thousands and thousands of gallons of water from the lake to get this new fire contained
We are happy to report that they did a phenomenal job and it’s expected we will finally receive some rain this week to help completely contain the fire to 100%
Everyone at the Waterstone Inn is grateful to all our First Responders for keeping Greenwood Lake safe, for our local businesses for stepping up and feeding and taking care of all the First Responders (many of whom are volunteers) and for all our fellow “Lakers” who once again showed what makes this place so special as you all rallied to help in whatever way you could
As a family run and small business here, we couldn’t be any more grateful ♥️
