"It's a very labor-intensive operation," an FDNY rep said of efforts to contain the blaze. "It's just this steep terrain, windy conditions. The fire can move rapidly."
Thomas Mason, a retired 56-year-old, mentioned, "There are at least five encampments where these guys hang out... Nobody really goes into these wooded areas except for the homeless guys."
Max Shamash, a 33-year-old artist, observed the burn site stating, "There's hundreds of beer cans, suitcases, baby carriages, AC units - it's like a junkyard that burnt."
