| episode_narrative | A major brush fire on the Edison and Woodbridge municipal line (Middlesex County) caused traffic disruptions on the 10th. The fire was first reported about 11 a.m. EDT that morning between Olympic Drive and the Black Ditch by the Raritan Center Industrial Park. Dozens of firefighters as well as aircraft battled the blaze. A huge column of black smoke was seen from miles away. Smoke from the fire was smelled in Sussex and Warren Counties and also on Staten Island, New York. It was seen as far south as Lakewood in Ocean County. Several local roadways were closed and or detoured. The south winds blew smoke over the FedEx facility on Riverside Drive. The smoke was also seen from major roadways that converge in the area and included the New Jersey Turnpike, the Garden State Parkway, United States Routes 1 and 9 and New Jersey State Route 440. Some warehouses and businesses were potentially threatened, however, no damage or evacuations occurred. While the wetlands in the area prevented access, they also stopped the fire from spreading faster. At 3 p.m. EDT on the 10th, the wildfire was about 50 percent contained and at 520 p.m. EDT on the 10th, it was 100 percent contained. Approximately 194 acres of brush were consumed. No property damage or injuries were reported. |
