To the best of my knowledge, the 20 person New Jersey State Forest Fire Service that was deployed to the Kennedy Peak Fire on or about November 17th, see my November 18th article , is still working the Kennedy Peak Fire . The fire has burned 730 acres and is at 75 percent containment. Photos of the fire may be on found on this inciweb photo page.
According to this ABC3 WHSV report the fire is burning in remote, steep, and rugged terrain; wildland firefighters have to hike 3.5 miles to get to the control lines.
I do not know if any aerial resources are being used in the fire. No residential areas are threatened.
I know that the NJFFS crew continues to hard to help contain the fire. Your work is appreciated and you honor New Jersey by your work.
