I just now checked the NJ Forest Fire Service's Facebook page and saw their post about the Microwave Fire that has burned 77 acres in Rockaway Township New Jersey, according to their post the fire is at 70 percent containment late morning on October 20th. Thirteen structures are threatened, as far as I know there are no evacuations in place. Thirty structres were threatened earlier today. For more information see this report from News 12 New Jersey and another report from NJ Advance Media. New Jersey is in a prolonged period of little rain with about three weeks with no rain in my section of New Jersey, so conditions are very dry leading to critical wildfire danger. This is the last update for this evening, the NJ Forest Fire Service is planning to make another update tomorrow, Oct. 21st at about 11 AM (or perhaps later).
