2024 New Jersey Wildfire Season: Tea Time Hill Wildfire, July 6th update #1

 I am sorry that I missed the July 5th 8:30 PM update from the New Jersey Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) on the Tea Time Hill Wildfire where the NJFFS reported that the fire had burned approximately 1,200 acres and was at 40 percent containment. The NJFFS just posted their July 6th morning update at about 9:15. The wildfire has burned approximately 4,000 acres and is at 60 percent containment. No structures are currently threatened, the Batona Campground remains closed, some trails and roads in Wharton State Forest are closed. A helicopter with a 300 gallon bucket is working the fire. You might want to check out 6ABC in Philadelphia and/or News12 New Jersey for their reporting on this fire, both have video reports.
