This just in, there is a multi-acre wildfire burning in the Brendon T. Byrne State Forest in Pemberton, Burlington County NJ. Unfortunately, I am unable to locate the road (Mary Ann Forge Rd.) cited by the New Jersey Forest Fire Service so I am unable to show you an approximate location for the wildfire. I expect another update from the NJ Forest Fire Service later this afternoon or this evening and will update this post at that time.
