Some updates on recent wildfire activity in NY and NJ that I have written about recently.
The wildfire in the Meadowlands near Carlsdadt, NJ that I wrote about yesterday has been contained, see a report from NBC4 in NYC for more information. Burnout operations were done by the NJ Forest Fire Service, see this initial attack thread from the wildland fire hotlist where the acreage burned is reported at 300 acres.
The fire that I reported in Harriman State Park on April 10 is contained, see FoxNewsNY.
On April 10, I also reported on a wildfire in Manorville Fire (Long Island). That wildfire burned 1,124 acres.
Manorville Fire Department Chief told Newsday on Wed. April 11 that the
fire is out. See this report from Newsday. (Note unsure how long this link is publicly available).
Finally, a fire that was first reported on April 10 in wood compost pile in the Fresh Kills Landfill in Staten Island, NY continues to be monitored, see Staten Island Live for more information.
