Knowing that there was extreme wildfire danger in New Jersey on May 17th, I checked the NJ Forest Fire Service's Facebook page at least once a day. Unfortunately, I missed their notification about what started out as a ten acre wildfire in the Thundergut Pond Wildlife Mangement Area in Salem County that grew to 65 acres before being contained late at night on May 18th. Apparently 15 structures were threatened earlier on May 18th. Thanks to my friends at the NJ Forest Fire Service Section B10 who posted a short video about this fire, embedded below, in their May 19th daily videos on their home page.
