BREAKING: Lightning responsible for Penn Swamp Wildfire. More details later today. "An investigation found that the cause of the fire was a lightning strike on several trees on the evening of Wednesday, July 19," said NJDEP Spokesman Bob Considine. "Three trees were struck, including a large...

I might also add. My mom loved her lily of the valley and kept a whole patch of them in our yard.

I'd add other humans as a more likely threat. Especially the way the shobies drive this time of year

I pulled this off Facebook. It's pretty much what I expected considering the size and location.

Until I rains;) It should be contained tomorrow, but I'm only guesssing.

In the end it's all part of the forest fire. Whether is the original fire or back fire.

On the news feeds I saw it looked like they were backfiring off Washington Turnpike.

07/20/17 @ 1330 hrs- SECTION B2 Washington Twp, Burlington County, 2 miles north of Batsto Village- "Penn Swamp Wildfire". Fire was spotted by the Batsto fire tower at about 1320 yesterday afternoon. Fire is in a remote area with no access into the fire. Crews are performing a large burn-out...

Yes that's the back fire. It's going to wind up being big.

http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2017/07/20/wharton-state-forest-fire/ That is definitely is a large burnout operation for Penn Swamp.

I'd almost put money on it being from a lightning strike. My front window faces that direction. I watched a storm build near atsion and head in that direction last evening. The outflow from the cloud tops was impressive.

I'd be surprised if I got more then 3/4" total. Everything skirted by either north or south. They'd very local though. A mile in either direction my friends got pounded.

Just like yesterday. A lot of noise not much rain. Got about a 1/4" in 10 min earlier but that's it. Lightning is striking within a mile of me now but no rain.

North of me

Nope he's still there:D

Even though it doesn't specifically mention Harrisville Dam it's a good read and I learned a few new things from it. http://www.nj.com/articles/17081889/185_nj_dams_could_fail_in_catastrophic_flood_but_state_wont_say_which_ones.amp

The writer does seem to be upset. The fact is those trees should have been taken out years ago. After years of neglect the DEP is now addressed the problem. As I mentioned before the failure of so many dams in the rain event in 2004 caused a state wide survey of why and how it can be...

I spent the day on the the Banegat Bay right behind IBSP. On three occasions a SP circled and went up and down the park. At one time I we heard sirens from the beach on the other side. They are spending a lot on resources keeping people out this weekend.
