The "PAVE PAWS Fire" of April 22, 1988

From the Cape Cod Brush Breakers 4 web site http://www.capecodfd.com/PAGES%20Special/Breakers08.htm


The "Pave Paws" military radar site in the northern part of the Massachusetts Military Reservation (Otis) is seen at the right in this photo. This fire burned intensely towards this vital military installation. The clearing around the facility prevented any damage. The fire however, continued to burn past the facility consuming over 2000 acres within a couple hours. Excerpt from the web page.
