The fire, which started in Kingston, spread quickly in high winds, fueled by high temperatures and tinder dry brush last August. It eventually destroyed more than 200 structures before it was finally brought under control though a massive effort involving local volunteer firefighters, forestry personnel, waterbombers, helicopters and outside resources.
