Owassa Fire (Sussex County, NJ): under control

According to the last update on this wildlandfire hotlist thread the final report on the Owassa Fire was issued on April 9, 2010 at 10:00 hr. The fire is now under control as of 10:00 AM on April 9. The firefighter who was in the ATV accident was seriously injured with a skull fracture. He had successful surgery at a NJ Hospital/Trauma Center where he will remain for a few more days. You will want to read the report that I linked to for more information.

Let us pause for a moment to offer our thoughts and prayers for this injured firefighter.
