It’s amazing if they only lost 1 business in that industrial park. It got slammed last night

We have a heavy haze of smoke in Atco.

That cage was there 2 years ago. I could not see anything in it then. I know exactly where you were. I found the stove parts as well. About 85 feet NNW of the coordinates I sent. Before it burnt.

Yes it was last night too. There were a few spots still burning last night.

The California Branch Forest Fire from my return flight on Friday.

I saw that same spot and assumed the same. It looks like it was on a small trail off of Rairitan.

I thought that’s what you meant. I drove some of the fire yesterday and noticed the same as you. Most of it didn’t burn very hot. Sometimes I think there’s a misconception that backfires don’t burn as hot as forest fires. I hear it all the time. “Thats a control burn” simply because it didn’t...

I’m curious. Are you saying where it was burnt good was forest fire and where it didn’t was backfire?

Also it’s worth noting. That most of the people that I know who also refer to it as California Branch Road are in the FFS. And they may have had a hand in naming the Fire.

I’ve always known that red line as California Branch Road. It crosses Rairitan at Five Mile Crossing which gets it name from the fact that it’s 5 miles from the center of Atco. I’ve looked for confirmation of the name of the road and branch on many maps but never found it.

I have heard that area called that by some people. But I have never seen it called that on a map.

Not sure on the cause. But one of the biggest thing that came out of this tragedy was better radio communications. Now everyone on the foreground is operating on the same frequency. The Incident commander doesn’t have to switch channels to talk to different responders that are on the fire.

I thought for sure that was a tar kiln there. It’s been on my list to explore, just haven’t made it there.

The Pine Barrens there burn the same as here. This is early to start having fires. It’s going to be a crazy spring if we don’t get some rain. https://longisland.news12.com/gov-hochul-declares-state-of-emergency-as-fires-burn-on-eastern-long-island
