episode_narrativeA brushfire with 30 to 40-foot-high flames burned across 75 to 100 acres in Raritan Center within Edison Township. The fire could be seen from Rahway (Union County) to East Brunswick (within Middlesex County). The fire burned for about six hours until firefighters finished dousing the blaze. One dozen municipalities, twenty-three fire departments and one hundred and three firefighters responded to the scene. The brushfire began in an area with 10 to 12-foot-high reeds that were very dry. Gusty northwest winds led to a longer battle with the fire. The peak wind gust at Newark International Airport for the day was 30 mph and the average wind speed of 16.1 mph was the fifth windiest day of March 2005.
