When I went by this morning there was a plow line along the power lines to Jackson road. So they were setting up to burn from the power lines to the county line bridge and then likely down the road immediately after. Not sure how far down that road but it could be all the way to the cranberry bogs.

Jackson Rd from Tremont Ave to Atsion Rd (Shamong) closed indefinitely due to a forest fire, avoid the area. No immediate threat to residental areas.

I’m guessing they are briefing this morning and waiting for the burn window to start firing it in. I suspect the acreage to climb dramatically. Most of the backfiring should be done by 3:00 or so. Last night was probably monitoring it and improving the containment lines that they are planning...

MAJOR WILDFIRE 200 acres/5% contained 08/20/23 @ 1500 hrs- Section C11, ‘Dragway Wildfire’, Wharton State Forest, Waterford Twp- Crews working a fire just east of the Atco drag strip. Currently this fire is 200 acres and 5% contained. Crews will continue to improve control lines and backfire...

Thanks, I suspected that but couldn’t confirm. There seemed to be more division B units there as well. I suspect there might be a lot of backfiring today. That’s a difficult area

The fire is reported to be in c-11. I did the same thing but I used the snack center as my reference since the grand stand is no longer there and came up with the similar line. Using that line the fire is on the Camden county side of the Mullica. Since the fire is reported in Camden county...

The kids and I went out to check it out. Given that the fire is reported in section C-11 I would assume it at least started in Camden county. The way the smoke is blowing it’s definitely heading towards Medford and Shamong. Hopefully it doesn’t cross the Mullica. It will be interesting how this...

This was at about 5:00 at Tremont and Jackson at the track

I don’t have much expertise in corporate mechanics either. But I did expect that when the deed became public it still wouldn’t reveal the true purpose it was purchased. This wasn’t a spur of the moment sale and was at least several months in the making. There’s still a lot of speculation out...

It’s zoned light commercial.

I have a feeling it is not owned by Caterpillar. In the link provided has a list of similar named companies. There is another Black Horse listed in Delaware and that one was formed only 4 months ago. https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_de/7425654

Yes pretty common. The bigger question is the what’s the cause of the “staffing issues”? Or is it more of a funding issue?

I want to clarify myself a little. I don’t think if you don’t live in the area you shouldn’t have a say. Clearly everyone should have some say in something like this but I’m just wondering how much weight is placed on petitions like this. Say a town has a population of 10,000 and 1000 of those...

On a different note. Seeing this petition got me thinking. It seems a large portion of the signatures don’t live in the town that this property is in. Some are even out of state. How effective could it actually be? Also who am I to say that something should or shouldn’t be built if I live 20...

I do believe that there are both chiggers and young ticks out there. I think they both leave different bites. Young ticks leave a bite similar to a mosquito like a hard knot. They also seem to group around my socks and waistband. What I consider chigger bites are usually more scattered and...

I played in there too. I used to have a few brooms from in there too. I never realized there was that many buildings there. Also notice 105 Atco Ave. That was my great grandfathers house. He used to work for the railroad. He used to take the train to work everyday. When they dismantled the...

That’s very cool Scott. That map stops just short of covering my family’s property. I grew up 2 blocks from those greenhouses. Also, there used to be two smoke stacks there. One used to be attached to the barn that they restored which is depicted in the map as well.

I forgot about that comment. I’d imagine Fazios was involved in 2020 when it was going to be sold then, so I’d imagine they picked right back up this time. Over the years rumors of the track closing for good have come up multiple times. Im not saying that the rumors aren’t true. I’m just a...

The one thing that it does point out. The track is closed and the grandstand is up for sale. Anything beyond that is speculation at this point. No sale of the property has been recorded in neither the county nor the Twp as far as I know at this point. I’ve heard many rumors and conspiracy...
