2024 New Jersey Wildfire Season: Craigmeur Lookout Wildfire, Morris County (Initial Post)

November 1, 7:30 AM

This just in. Thanks to a friend who is New Jersey Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) Wildland Firefighter who told me early this morning about the Craigmeur Lookout Wildfire, a multi-acre wildfire currently burning in Rockaway Township, New Jersey. This is the same township where the Microwave Wildfire burned several days ago. NJFFS crews and equipment are on site working this fire. New Jersey Advance Media just published an article reporting on the Craigmeur Lookout Fire, the Halloween Fire in Downe Twshp in Cumberland County and a third wildfire burning in Camden County that has forced the suspension of New Jersey Transit's Atlantic City line, go here to read this November 1st article by Jeff Goldman. In addition, News 12 New Jersey has a November 1st report (with video) on the Craigmeur Lookout Fire
