A two-men crew from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service used a special truck called the Marsh Master to find hot spots and put out any remaining ashes. The Marsh Master vehicle can carry water to a fire or pump it from the swamp to put out flames.
Officials still don't know what caused the fire, but they said it could have been anything from a tossed cigarette to sparks from a chain being dragged behind a truck on the Thruway.
The fire didn't injure anyone, nor did it cause much damage to wildlife, including Montezuma's nesting eagles.
