Direct link to the Facebook post from the NJ Forest Fire Service at 10:30AM post on Sept 5th.
The Buckabear wildfire continues to burn in West Milford Township in Passaic County NJ. As I write this at 11:50 AM, according to the 10:30AM update from the NJ Forest Fire Service on Facebook 200 acres have burned and the fire is at 60 percent containment. Acreage burned has increased slightly from 185 acres that the NJ Forest Fire Service reported last night and containment has remained the same. A road closure remains in effect and no structures are threatened and a boat launch at a reservoir near the fire is closed. I will make another update tomorrow morning unless there is a significant change in the status of this wildfire.
There was rainfall in northern New Jersey last night, and I hope that this rainfall helped the wildland firefighters. The NJ Forest Fire Service will be assessing the impact the rainfall had on the fire and hopefully the containment percentage will increase
