2020 New Jersey Wildfires: Rock Face Fire almost contained

Obtained on February 25, 2020 from the New Jersey Forest Fire Service Facebook Page

There is good news about the Rock Face Fire, started  on Sunday afternoon February 23rd on Mt. Tammany in Worthington State Forest in New Jersey, (see my February 24th article). It remains at 80 acres burned and at last report is at 95 percent containment. In addition it has been raining on off since February 25th and more rain is in the forecast for tonight. See these news report from Lehigh Valley Live and WFMZ News 69 for more information.

My thanks to the wildland firefighters who had to hike up to the fire because it was inaccessible to their engines and to the pilot of Delta5 who made water drops on the fire. Thanks for keeping us safe, your work is appreciated.
