Light initial attack in central NJ

As you know, all of NJ except for the five northeastern counties are under red flag warnings through 6PM this afternoon and a fire watch through tomorrow afternoon. I have been listening to live scanner feed from Division B (central NJ) of the NJ Forest Fire Service for most of the afternoon. I don't know much details, but I what I have been listening to on the scanner suggests initial attack on at least wildland fire. I just went to wildland fire to see if someone had posted about this, and saw this posting about the red flag warning and light initial attack in Division B.

I just now checked the NJFFS Section B-10 webpage and found an update at 5:20 PM EDT on today's initial attack activity in Division B. Bravo 2 (Ag Cat), made a drop on a fire on Rte. 547 (Howell Twsp, Monmouth County?) in Section B8. Bravo 1 (AT-602) has made two drops on a fire near West. Bay Ave in Section B4. I believe that the fire in Section B4 is near Barnegat Twsp (Ocean County).
