That would be a disaster. "If needed" would be every day.
Crews Battling Wildfire Along Mullica River in South Jersey’s Wharton State Forest
- Thread starter Teegate
- Start date
No. Asa Pittman and/or his dad had a brick factory. It's exact location has been in question by various individuals in the past and present. His wife claimed she could look through the woods from their home in Upton and see the glow of the ovens from there. One location that is up for discussion is along Mt. Misery road on the south side between Route 70 and Mt. Misery.
Only 46'r was allowed to use the eye roll. Do you work for the NJFFS?It work in any other state I have ever been in, with the addition of enforcement and hefty fines for illegal activities. (Which this state lacks)
Okay. Then it is Brooksbre and not anywhere near Mt. Misery. Once I read Mt. Misery on Facebook I did not even think of Brooksbrae.
That is way too close to homes for anyone to be starting fires there.
When I heard Brick Yard fire in Manchester I was thinking of where Rt 70 and Manchester Blvd meet. But that is not near Brendan Bryne SF. My wife just told me about another fire on the Tabernacle/Chatsworth border
Looks like rain is starting to move into that area now with the forecast calling for between one inch and an inch and a half through tonight.
Understandably so...
If I did I wouldn't have time to be on here. They are pretty busy...
Back when the original MAP was being discussed they could have closed every road in Wharton and it wouldn't have really affected me. At the time, I drove a 2013 Ford Taurus, which kept me pretty much out of the woods in and of itself. However I fought really, really hard against it because it would affect a lot of other people that I know and care about and also because it was such a massive change in the status quo that was planned in secret between the Wharton Superintendent and the PPA and I was opposed to that on ethical reasons.
Sometimes you have to stand up against things that are wrong, even though you're not inconvenienced by them.

I took the FFS map from a photo on their Facebook page and added to a topo map. If they have the full fire area marked the fire started behind Brooksbrae.

Yea.... some crazy thoughts that the fire itself will ruin the woods. They need to look around and see what happens after a fire.
I will be going there next week. I have a few things to look for in that triangle. I will check out the spungs. I was on Broken Arm road in 2005 and found the Burlington County #20 monument surveyed and placed there by Winfield Eldridge but I have a few other things to look for.

People ought to be more careful with such powerful and effective solutions such as these.
True that the fire won't "ruin the woods". But if I lived in one of those houses around there, I'd be thinkin' and prayin'.
