The helicopter(s) is/are keeping very busy. And it appears that the smoke has lessened.

They are using a large helicopter with a suspended water bag to make repeated trips between Alton Bay (by the Rt. 11 Scenic View) and the fire. While I was at the Scenic View at around 9:45 AM this morning the Alton Police blocked Rt. 11 in both directions and the helicopter landed in the middle of the road for refueling. A fuel tanker truck was waiting and the process took about 10 - 15 minutes. Then the copter took off and resumed it's trips between the Bay and the fire.

I just came back from the lake. There was two helicopters making the water runs. Traffic was rerouted down 11D. The media and many fire trucks were parked at the base parking.
