Brick Wall Road? Who names these roads?

That is the corporation name for one of the sand plants I think.

I've mentioned it in other posts, but NASA FIRMS / VIIRS is very useful for tracking fires.

There is one satellite image from yesterday at 12:01 ET which may possibly show the starting point, or at least a starting point, just off of Jones Road, here.

Maybe a bottle in this field, or an illegal camp?

I recall about 7 years ago, two guys were off Jones road firing an automatic weapon and they were arrested. Can't find the article.

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…

The 1995 fire in Greenwood Forest was spawned in hell. It barrelled through that forest like a hurricane. I think it was 19,000 acres. Have to look it up.
