2024 New Jersey Wildfire Season: Jennings Creek Wildfire Passaic (NJ) and Orange (NY) Counties: Update #3

For my earlier reports on the Jennings Creek Wildfire see these posts:

November 14th, morning update




Thanks to my friends at the B10 NJ Wildland Fire Page for sharing this video on their webpage this morning. In watching this short video update on the Jennings Creek Wildfire uploaded on November 13th, I see that they too mention that the New York side of the wildfire has burned 2,100 acres. This confirms what I read in a NJ Advance Media (updated at 7 PM on November 13th) where they also mention that the wildfire has burned 2,100 acres in New York. In the 7:10 PM update I wrote on my November 12th & 13th update on the Jennings Creek Wildfire, I referred to the 7 PM update that the NJ Forest Fire Service posted on Facebook reporting that the NJ side of the wildfire has burned 2,283 acres. Adding these two figures together we arrive at total acreage burned of 4,383 acres. Finally, I went to the Mid Hudson News that covers the Hudson Valley region of New York where the Jennings Creek is burning where I found a nice photo story of the Jennings Creek Fire including three videos that include some footage of helicopter drops. I hope to see an update from the NJ Forest Fire Service later this morning and will update this post if and when I see that update.
