As I was looking on Facebook yesterday at some NJ Forest Fire Service pages, I noted a 9 minute YouTube video from the Jersey Shore Fire Response of the response, including a couple of Air Tanker Drops from a SEAT (Tanker 81). According to the description of the video, the brush fire was reported at about 4:30 PM on April 21st along some train tracks in Manchester Township, Ocean County. Route 70 west was closed for a couple of hours, and the only structure protection was in place at a nearby pallet yard. The brush fire of unknown acreage was contained before the video was posted on YouTube on April 22nd.
In this 9 minute video you will see some units from the New Jersey Forest Fire Service as well as local fire companies, NJ Forest Fire Service ground crews working the fire, dozer operations and two tanker drops. For those that are interested in dozer operations, you may find them at about 1'48" (minutes, seconds) and 3'40". Tanker drops are at 2'12" and 6'59"). You will hear some audio as well.
