I just found out that the Brickworks wildfire was reported in the Brendon T. Byrne State Forest on Sunday, June 26th. For a short time on Sunday, 7 structures were threatened, these structures are no longer threatened. No injuries were reported. Crews from the NJ Forest Fire Service worked yesterday afternoon and evening to contain the fire.The fire burned 315 acres and as of 10 AM Monday was at 100 percent containment. New Jersey Advance Media reported on this wildfire on June 27th. The NJ Forest Fire Service reported on this fire this morning on their Twitter Feed, here.
I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
