NJ Paramount Fire - probable cause and air attack footage; Rx burns



Local media is reporting that investigators into the cause of last weekends Paramount Fire that burned 540 acres in Barnegat NJ may have been intentionally sent, see for example the video as well as reports by the Asbury Park Press here and here.

As you watch the video, you will see footage of what I believe is an Air Tractor 602 dropping slurry on the fire.

And yes, as the news broadcaster at myfoxphilly reported, it is prescribed burning season here in New Jersey. The Rx burning season has been hindered by recent snow and rain storms, see this article from the Atlantic City Press for more information.
