I was having a conversation with some friends yesterday about the devastating fall wildfire season in New Jersey and I was telling them that to the best of my understanding that the NJ Forest Fire Service will report on social media about fires less than 100 acres where structures are threatened. So perhaps it was no coincidence that when I went to social media last night to check for reports from the NJ Forest Fire Service that I saw a report that an 11 acre wildfire that had threatened three structures in Bayville, Ocean County was contained on Sunday afternoon, December 8th. There were no evacuations and no structures were damaged. Ocean Gate Drive in Bayville was closed and is now reopened. The NJFFS first reported on this wildfire at about 8 AM on December 8th. The NJ Forest Fire Service will remain on scene to monitor the wildfire. Kudos to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service crews and mutual aid. Media reports on the wildfire may be found at Bayville Patch (Dec 9th).
