2025 New Jersey Wildfire Season: Buckabear Fire Update # 2

Direct link to the Facebook post from the NJ Forest Fire Service at 9:25 AM post on Sept 4th. 

The Buckabear wildfire continues to burn in West Milford Township in Passaic County NJ. As I write this at 10:10 AM, according to the 9AM update from the NJ Forest Fire Service on Facebook 160 acres have burned and the fire is at 50 percent containment. The good news is that there is no increase in acreage burned from what the NJ Forest Fire Service reported last night and containment has increased from 40 to 50 percent. A road closure remains in effect and no structures are threatened. I will make another update tomorrow morning unless there is a significant change in the status of this wildfire.
