Just read their is a major fire in Greenwood, about 100 acres now but expected to grow. Manchester was mentioned, does anyone know a more precise location?

That's not good. Was just wandering around here and thinking that the warm weather and continuing drought have made the woods really dry.

I didnt know it was a wildfire. I came into greenwood off 72 and ended up driving right up to it. I thought it was a prescribed burn. I turned around and went back out to 539. It was weird being the only car on 539. Didnt know it was blocked off till I got up to the blockage on 539 north.

Here's the view of the fire from my back yard in Cream Ridge. No, the farm isn't mine (I wish) but is my neighbors. I do get to enjoy the view of the farm though without having to do any of the work. Pine Barrens fire.jpg

I drove up to the fire yesterday or at least a back burn of it. It is north of guys map. It is the piece of woods that has roads on both sides that drive through rye strips. Has a giant hill on the topo map. It is where the helicopter landed in a post a few months ago. I cant post a Map from my phone
