Another fire at the base:

from: http://www.sectionb10.org

06/22/16 @ 1500 hrs- SECTION B6- Pemberton Twp, Browns Mills- NJFFS assisting Joint Base FD with a large fire near their property line. 2 NJFFS helicopters have launched for observation and suppression. IC flying the fire reports about 30-40 acres at this time. Multiple spot fires. Updated 1550 hrs.
I'm hearing it's not on the base but close to it. Twenty homes were evacuated as precautionary measures. The news feeds seem to confirm that. We are really dry right now. I have to double check but I think Northern NJ is in moderate drought already.

Things are a bit dry. Most of the state has seen between 1 to 3 inches less rain than the historical normal over the past 30 days.
