The New Jersey Forest Fire Service made its first post on the Cannonball 3 Wildfire late last night, I won't embed that here but if you want to look at it, you may find it here.
At the time I write this at 6:45 AM, the Cannonball 3 Wildfire has burned 75 acres in Pompton Plains, Passaic County. There is no containment. Fifty-five structures are threatened but there are no evacuations at this time. There are no road closures that I am aware of, but travelers on Interstate 287 near where the Interstate intersects with the Wanaque River may see smoke. I have not yet seen any media reports on this wildfire. I saw a spectacular photo of this fire on social media this morning, a photo taken of the fire from Interstate 287 last night, it is not my place to share it with you but I am sure that between the media and the New Jersey Forest Fire Service there will be photos of this fire available later.
Thanks to the New Jersey Forest Fire for your work on this fire. I know how busy you have been the past couple of weeks during this extreme fall wildfire season. I am very proud of you.
