According to the latest report posted here at 9:45 PM, the fire is 75 percent contained. Volunteer fire departments from Atlantic County NJ have been released with the exception of one water tender. Twenty-five personnel are still deployed. One off-road wildland engine and tractor plow unit will remain over night for mop-up and monitoring over night.
Nice work NJFFS and Atlantic County Volunteer Fire Departments!
A media report with pictures from earlier this evening may be found on NJ.com.
I used the accounts of the Jersey Devil Fire from wildlandfire that I referenced in this post and my earlier post to mark an approximate location of this fire using Google Earth.
