As I write this and share the latest report NJ Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) report on yet another wildfire it is 9:20 PM on October 31st. It looks like the NJFFS first reported on the Halloween Fire at about 5:30 PM. I lingered online looking for media reports, but failed to find any. When I came back to the NJFFS Facebook there was an update which I am sharing below. The Halloween Fire has burned 100 acres, no structures are threatened and it is not contained. One road, Railroad Ave. in Downe Twshp close to the wildfire is closed. ABC6 out of Philadelphia has a report on this fire, published on November 1st, the report may be found here.
I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
