May 1 Update — The fire has been 100% contained after burning 8,000 acres.

Original — Fire crews have made significant progress against the brush fire over the past week. The fire is now 90% contained and with additional rainfall on the way, the end is nigh for the blaze. I do thank the firefighters who have worked constantly on this fire.

Below is the projected rainfall over the next 48 hours for the region (image from WeatherBELL Analytics). Up to an inch can be expected for the Poconos — we will take every drop.
