Seems almost impossible this will happen. Black run is so beloved by people in Marlton and this would really impact it. Also kettle run isn’t designed for that amount of traffic with Tomlinson mill being a horrible light and Braddock out to 73 not much better. Samost already destroyed a...

Yes tuckerton road at intersection with caranza. Beyond that it was closed. Guessing it burned down to bulldozed road. I think they did burn around Costello but didn’t drive back there. It was burned from Hampton/glossy spung up to where it branches off to tuckerton. The smoke was moving...

Just drove out that way. Tuckerton was a pretty hot burn. Hampton road was back fired and not to bad. The smoke was blowing towards batsto fireline and on that side of 206. Surprised how big it got with minimal winds, green vegetation and somewhat wet forest. But that area hasn’t burned in a...

Was just out they were burning at glossy spung road. I’m guessing it’s glossy spung/hampton to caranza/tuckerton. Then down tuckerton to bulldozed road over to lower forge road and up Hay road/riders switch. If I had to guess that is the containment area.

Yeah saw trucks scrambling around caranza and parked at memorial and Costello school. Seemed to just be developing at 8am.

Yeah guy who told me is an alarmist. I agree I’d be shocked if there wasn’t some large announcement. There is a large amount of pine and corn snakes there as well.

Anyone know if this development is proceeding. A friend I know claims they have begun clearing the land but i can’t find anything indicating that.

Another fake rainstorm in Shamong. Weather guys just can’t figure things out.

Bob, tell me more about the dead box turtles. Were they near or approaching wetlands? When I walked the bass river fire I found a half dozen box turtle shells as the turtles were fleeing to a cedar lowland but didn’t quite make it there. When I explored the Wharton/batsto fire I found dozens of...

Need a lot more than this. First time since I’ve lived in my house in Shamong that peepers didn’t call from my ponds. Very quiet spring from frogs. Although toads and tree frogs started this week which is relieving.

Pine barrens for another generation :)

Fires like this should be a reminder to people not to build in barrens.

This fire makes me rethink some of my thoughts on nj forest fires. This moved violently and fast. Also reminds me of the thread of how much time you have to get out of forest if a fire breaks out. Def humbling…

They are at least doing more detailed maps. But I agree it’s not a lot of info especially if you are close by.

Feel like that area hasn’t burned in a while. Should be good for that forest.

SPYPOINT have a nice rechargeable option which I have on my cameras. They actually last a long time in the field without needing to recharge. Again the reception will be an issue. Maybe I’ll try mine out in pines again and see.

I have SPYPOINT cellular cameras. They send still photos when the camera detects to my cell phone. The photos aren’t great and work well to just identify the type of animal. There is likely no chance they get reception to send a photo to a cell phone. I’ve tried mine at corn and pine dens and I...

Was down in cape may yesterday at some spots and there was actually a lot of water at ponds. I went in expecting to see very low levels and was surprised it was the opposite. They must have gotten far more from some of the winter snows then we did up here in burlco. Think Boyd mentioned this and...

Wasn’t too much lightning in area. Was off the cut but within the woods and not on a trail or road, at least I don’t think. Maybe more fireworks??

Looks like the source of the fire was 50 yards or so off the powerline cut. At least that is what they had flagged off in a square.
