Jersey Devil wildfire:
At approximately 2 PM, an observer in the Batso Fire Tower reported a 300 acre fire in a cedar swamp near in Egg Harbor City burning southeast to Galloway Township. It is 50 percent contained. Ground equipment ( 10 engines, 3 tractor plows, 2 water tenders), a helicopter with a bucket, an observation helicopter, and two contract SEATS are working the fire. Sixty personnel working the fire include the NJFFS and 10 volunteer fire companies.
If my NJ road atlas is correct, this fire is burning in the Pinelands National Reserve.
Yes, the incident has been given the name "Jersey Devil".
For more information on this incident, see this thread on the wildlandfire "hotlist" forums.
