Section B-10 of the NJ Forest Fire Service updates their website frequently with brief notes about fire activity. I just checked their website to see what kind of fire activity is/was going on in NJ today. They wrote about three fires in Division B (central NJ).
1. Barnegat/Stafford border off of Rte. 72 (Section B-4, Ocean County), fire of 1.75 acres. The Air Tractor 602 (Bravo 1) made three drops on the fire. At the time I logged on the the B-10 website, they reported that "at 6PM, sounds contained." There is a short news report with a link to a video here.
2. Jackson (Section B-9, Ocean County), an Ag-Cat (Bravo 3) made one drop on the fire. At approximately 5PM, the fire is under control. Acreage unknown.
3. Multiple fires along railroad tracks in Middlesex County, from Monroe to South Brunswick.
I expect that there were other fires that I don't know about.
Nice work NJ Forest Fire Service. Stay Safe.
