| episode_narrative | The extremely dry and unseasonably warm weather of early May made New Jersey primed for wild and forest fires. In Burlington County in Bordentown Township, sparks from a passing train around 120 p.m. EDT was enough to ignite a dozen brush fires along the tracks from Amboy Road north to Groveville Road. One firefighter was taken to the hospital suffering from heat exhaustion. The siding of a barn on Amboy Road sustained minor heat damage, otherwise no other damage was reported. The fire was extinguished at 630 p.m. EDT. Another smaller train related brush fire occurred the same afternoon in Mansfield Township. In Monmouth County, in the Belford section of Middletown Township, a wildfire consumed four grassy acres before it was under control. One home's siding was damaged when the fire crept close to it. Two smaller brush fires occurred that afternoon within the township off of County Route 520 and Harbor Way. In Mercer County, another track related fire occurred in the Yardville section of Hamilton Township from 140 p.m. through 400 p.m. EDT. No damage or injuries were reported. |
