Thanks a good friend who gave me a heads up about a second wildfire in New Jersey. A wildfire, known as the Turkey Buzzard Fire, was reported at about 10:20 PM on Monday, May 17th in the Brendon T. Byrne State Forest in Pemberton NJ (Burlington County). It has burned about 407 acres, and according to a NJ Advance Media report (May 18th) is at approximately 50% containment. Portions of a popular hiking trail, the Batona Trail remain closed. This is the second wildfire in two days, the first one being the Ballanger Fire in Little Egg Harbor Township that is now at 100% containment. No structures have been damaged in either fire and no injuries have been reported.
I thank my friends from NJFFS Section B-10 for the names of these two wildfires.
CBS3 in Philadelphia has a short report with a brief video on the wildfire in the Brendon T. Byrne State Forest.
