If the area is available with street view, you can get the exact date on the street view. You can find the exact date of a location on Google Earth, but for some reason not on Google Map. This image was taken on 4/16/2016.

Hum...those dates don't quite match up. I'm sure they are both the same fire. My wife actually noticed the column of smoke on our way out of Hammonton from a friends house. It was almost out by early afternoon.
