The NJ Forest Fire Service Section B10 has a note on their main webpage about the Cannonball 2 wildfire in the Pompton Lakes area of Bergen County that has burned approximately 100 acres, some structure protection is in place. I will update this page as I get more information. I found some media coverage on this fire in a May 13th article on North Jersey dot com, there may be a paywall.
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.

Nice job everyone! New Jersey Advance Media reported on the containment of the Cannonball 2 Wildfire in an article at noon today.
