Owassa Fire (Sussex County, NJ): 80% contained

I had noted a few hours ago on the NJFFS Section B-10 website that the Owassa Fire had burned 105 acres and was 80 percent contained this morning. I was waiting for an update from the wildland fire hotlist forums before posting an update. I recently saw that an update has been posted to this thread (at 15:30 on 4/8/10) that you will want to check out for more details.

Of note from the update:

• As of 15:30 on April 8, the fire had burned 105 acres and was 80% contained,
• the cause of the fire is related to a power line and is still being investigated, 
• three fire fighters were treated and released last night for smoke related injuries, and another fire fighter had a head injury today as the result of an ATV accident. The fire fighter with the head injury was taken to the hospital for treatment,
• a helo with a bambi bucket was working the fire at the time of the update (15:30 on 4/8/10).
