2023 New Jersey Wildfire Season: Glory Wildfire in Jackson Twshp (Ocean County): June 7th Update

June 7th, 9:20 AM

I continue to follow the Glory Fire that I first wrote about on June 6th. New Jersey Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) crews and crews from local fire companies worked overnight fighting the Glory Fire and protecting homes in Jackson Township, Ocean County New Jersey. The latest update on this fire is that the fire has burned 70 acres and is 70 percent contained, NJFFS did backfiring operations last night to "protect surrounding homes and burn fuel ahead of the main body of fire. Fifteen structures remain threatened down from 30 last night. News 12 New Jersey is among the media that has been reporting on the Glory fire, their latest report with video may be found here. Also reporting on this fire is CBS Philadelphia with an update this morning (June 7th)
