Direct link to June 18th 1:08 PM post from the NJ Forest Fire Service on Facebook
The Mines Spung Wildfire that burned 6,400 acres in Wharton State Forest in Burlington County and the NJ Forest Fire Service reported in their final update on Wednesday, July 18th that the wildfire is at 90 percent containment. All roads were opened on Wednesday, the Batona Trail in the area of the wildfire remained closed and five structures were still threatened. NJ Forest Fire wildland firefighters will remain on the scene to monitor containment lines and address any areas that require attention. Please take a few moments to review the NJ Forest Fire Service's Facebook post and check out their photos of the wildfire.
I have a deep regard and respect for the NJ Forest Fire Service wildland firefighters on the ground and in the air. I am so glad that we have a State Forest Fire Service that addresses any size fire quickly. the small and the large. Kudos to the ground crews, bulldozer drivers, engine crews, and airtanker and helicopter pilots who worked to contain this wildfire.
