Last week, I missed the Facebook post from the NJ Forest Fire Service that on April 15th there were more than 20 wildfires along train tracks, sparked by a passing train, in Winslow Township, Camden County NJ. The fires were contained. A SEAT with a 600 gallon tank and an observation helicopter flew the fire per this NJ Forest Fire Service Facebook post. By the end of that same day, the NJ Forest Fire Service most of these wildfires were contained.
- CBS3 in Philadelphia reported on these wildfires here.
- New Jersey Advance Media also had a report on the fire.
- Patch in Gloucester Township NJ reported on April 16th that "A passing train sparked the fires, officials said. Conrail, which operates the train, must reimburse the Forest Fire Service for the cost of responding to the blazes, according to a spokesperson for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, which oversees the Forest Fire Service."
