episode_narrativeA forest fire in Wharton State Forest, when discovered at about 9:00 AM EDT on the 20th, covered about 30 acres in Waterford Township in Camden County. The fire, fanned by brisk winds of 20 to 25 mph, spread to 325 acres mainly in the Camden County part of the state forest. No homes were in danger. Wind-whipped embers caused spot fires east of the Mullica River in Shamong Township (Burlington County). These were quickly extinguished. The blaze was reported to be under control at 9:30 PM EDT on the 20th. The cause of the fire was not known. It appeared to have ignited about one mile east of the raceway on Old Atsion Road. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had temporary flight restrictions for three square miles of airspace around the fire. The Hammonton Airport was closed so the fire service could fly its aircraft in and out unimpeded. No rain since April 8th, low humidity levels and sporadic high winds contributed to the rapid spread of the fire. The unseasonably dry weather caused the Forestry Service to declare Stage 1 campfire restrictions in effect, with no fires on the ground unless they are in a prepared fire ring.
