NJ Forest Fire Service 2018 engines deployed in western U.S.: Aug 4th update

I am writing a brief follow-up to the post I made on August 3rd about New Jersey Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) Engines currently on deployed to fight wildfires in the western United States. To the best of my knowledge, two type 4 engines from the NJFFS continue to be assigned to the Carr Fire near Redding California (141,825 acres burned at 41 percent containment).

I understand from the NJFFS A2 Firefighters Association Facebook Page in a post to their page on August 4th that NJFFS engines A29 and T5 along with car 37 were released from the Sharps fire in Idaho late in the afternoon or early evening of August 3rd. Recall that they arrived at the incident command post for the Sharps Fire around mid-day on August 3rd. They are currently staged at the Bureau of Land Management Office in Elko, Nevada awaiting assignment. Here is a nice post, also from the NJFFS A2 Firefighters Association on their Facebook page earlier this morning with a thank-you note thanking them for all they do.

I'd like to thank a friend who sent me a link to an article from the Press of Atlantic City reporting on NJFFS wildland firefighters from southern New Jersey who are currently on deployed out west working wildfires out west, including but not limited to the Carr Fire, the article may be found here (there is a paywall, you have a limited number of free views each month).

Thank-you NJFFS engines, support vehicles and crews for doing a great job representing New Jersey as you work wildfires out west or are awaiting assignment. Thank-you to all the crews working these wildfires, some of you have traveled from other states or countries to work these wildfires. Stay safe.
