We present the results of optical and near–IR spectroscopy of the massive young star associated with the extended reflection nebula Gy 2-18 (HHL31). The optical spectrum between 4000-5000 Å suggests a B0-B2 classification for this object. In addition the Hα line profile indicate the presence of a consistent stellar wind with a velocity of the order of 1200 km/s. The near-IR spectrum is dominated by the presence of the hydrogen recombination emission lines (Pfund and Bracket series). The measured line intensities of these lines are in agreement with the presence of a strong stellar wind in Gy2-18.
