GBVFD Drone, Fantastic ! What a Terrific Idea on the part of the G-Beach Vollies. :cool:

As we can see from the Drone Vid., there were several different Brush Fires Burning, (10-41?)
thus the confusion regards Location.
Having grown-up, (or at least Older), in that area, some insight:
The North Half of the 'Marine Park Salt Marsh Trail' / Gerritsen Inlet, the Ave.U Side, (Top of Map),
is technically, and usually known as 'Marine Park'.
On the West Side, (left on Map), North of Ave.X/Allen Ave. (Playground-Lower Left) is considered
Marine Park, South of that is Gerritsen Beach.
Then, across 'The Creek' to the East, (East of Mau-Mau Island) Flatbush Ave Side, (Right Side Map)
we have 'Marine Park Golf Course' which, (of Course), is considered Marine Park.
The Area to the South of that, past the Belt Pkwy. is usually considered Jamacia Bay.
[Glad I could esplain' all that...] ;) Thanks Again GBVFD for the Drone Vid.

Wow, great stuff! Very interesting…

From looking at the video and the map, it appears GBVFD, helps to cover that whole Marine Park area, including the area to the east of where the bay/inlet/creek is. It doesn’t appear there is any direct access. Do they go Avenue U to Flatbush Ave to access that section?

Either Ave U. to Flatbush, otherwise they access Belt Pkwy East from Knapp St.
depending on Fire Location and/or Traffic Conditions, Time of Day etc...

Belt Pkwy East great at 4a; 4p Not So Much... . ;)
