UPDATE: All out declared around 10:55 a.m.

For the third time in three days, firefighters are in Stony Brook Reservation, combating a brush fire. Unlike the first two, which were at the Hyde Park end of the forest, this one is closer to Washington Street, between West Boundary Road and Enneking Parkway. Around 7:20 a.m., fire commanders struck a second alarm for the fire; around 7:50 a.m., a third alarm; and around 8:30, a fourth alarm.

Police shut West Boundary Road to traffic. Smoke from the fire could be smelled at Forest Hills.
