episode_narrativeThe largest wildfire of the weekend (April 28th and 29th) began during Saturday afternoon the 28th just east of the Millville Municipal Airport. Before it was under control during the afternoon of the 29th, about 765 acres were burned. The fire spread quickly during the afternoon of the 28th aided by gusty northwest winds and an unseasonably dry second half of April. By the early evening of the 28th, about 450 acres already burned. The fire jumped across Buckshutem Road and spread along Buckshutem Creek along the Millville and Commercial Township border near Laurel Lake. About 60 homes in the Laurel Lake Development were evacuated near the fire. Two dozen people were sheltered in a school. All evacuated residents were allowed back to their homes by the morning of the 29th. This was the largest wildfire of the weekend and burned 745 acres. No property was damaged, but scrub pines and oak trees were destroyed. In all, there were 79 brush fires that burned 1,041 acres throughout the state of the New Jersey that weekend.
