Fire Watch NJ
This is unusual for us. We don't usually get such large burns. Any South Jersey Pelis have eyes on?

Yes, I remember quite a few bad fires, up to and as I recall closing the garden state parkway.

My dept's been getting slammed with brushfires the past week and a half. We had a few decent size areas burn, but nothing like over in Burlington county.Unfortunately, most are started by idiots open burning, or tossing cigs out car windows.
There's about an 800 acres fire burning now near me. We are on standby for it. Luckily the winds died down from yesterday. Had a moron the other day, burning brush in his yard next to his shed and fence, with a 35mph wind blowing. Could have taken out half the neighborhood.
