First a brief update on the two crew modules from NJ deployed to Wyoming. The NJ Highlands module will be returning home tomorrow. The NJ Pinelands module is "assigned to the Freeze Out Fire near Sheridan, WY. 10 acre fire. Directing bucket drops, digging line. Most resources have left the area. Module is doing well. No new information. (obtained from Eastern Area Interagency Report (IARR) and the NJFFS Section B10 webpage on August 28, 2020 (note that information on these two dates is update frequently and what you see when you go to these sites may be different).
Several engines and crew from the NJ Forest Fire Service and the Pennsylvania DCNR took four days to drive 3,000 miles across country to California to help out with the wildfires in that State. I am very, very proud. You honor us with your service. Here is a short video from KSBW 8 showcasing the NJFFS engines that recently arrived in California, some of the engines will be working the CZU Lightning Complex. Another NJFFS engine is assigned to the Elkhorn Fire. I don't know all the fires that the engines are deployed to, and will see if I can find a complete list of the fires where the PA and NJ engines are deployed.
I am very, very proud of the modules and engine crews from New Jersey and Pennsylvania. You are helping provide much needed support to the crew in California fight wildfires. I can not be of direct help, but you are helping where we in New Jersey and Pennsylvania can not. You honor with with your service in California. Stay safe.
