Carbon County forest fire coming too close for comfort

JIM THORPE, CARBON COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A brush fire is sweeping through hundreds of acres near a busy tourist attraction in Jim Thorpe, Carbon County. Finally, there's some good news from the front lines: Firefighters say it's been contained.

But that doesn't mean they're out of trouble just yet, and for the people living nearby, the flames are coming a little too close for comfort.

The brush fire is burning parts of Bear Mountain, from Weisport to Jim Thorpe, spreading over 460 acres quickly Sunday and Monday morning.
