| episode_narrative | A major brush fire damaged 890 acres in an isolated area in the Barnegat section of Stafford Township in Ocean County from June 24th into June 27th. The wildfire started from a lightning strike of a pine tree on the 24th. It smoldered within the tree for about two days before it started to spread. It was first reported about 1230 p.m. EDT on the 26th. It was located south of New Jersey State Route 72 and west of of County Route 539 near the Cedar Bridge sand and gravel plant. The fire forced the closure of several nearby roadways including County Route 539, but no evacuations occurred. There were about 30 homes near the fire. The swampy area where the wildfire occurred hindered firefighters, but also made it difficult for the fire to spread. Little to no wind in the area also helped keep the blaze from spreading faster. The recent unseasonably hot and dry weather helped fuel the fire. The fire was considered one hundred percent contained at 4 p.m. EDT on the 27th. About forty-five firefighters from both state and local jurisdictions battled the blaze. Firefighters used a helicopter, bulldozers and fire engines to fight the blaze, some of the bulldozers were getting stuck in the swampy ground. No serious injuries were reported. |
