Direct link to video from The Lakewood Scoop on YouTube
I am quite aware that there are innumerable smaller brushfires in New Jersey and elsewhere, however, I do not always have first hand knowledge of these brushfires. Thanks to my friends from the B10 NJ Wildfire Page who shared this video from The Lakewood Scoop yesterday. I do not know the exact date that the brushfire started, but I suspect it was midweek. This brush fire was started by downed powerlines. The brushfire quickly spread to about five acres at the time of the video was shot. There were no structures threatened. NJ Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) crews were working the fire. Watching the video I can see that local fire companies also responded to this brushfire. I do not know have any updated information about this brushfire.
My purpose in sharing this video is to highlight the hard work that NJ Forest Fire Service crews do around New Jersey in fighting these brushfires, perhaps unnoticed outside the town where the brushfire started. I applaud and thank the NJFFS crews and mutual aid response in keeping us safe. It looks to be a busy spring fire season, stay safe everyone.
