Title: Bad Forest Fire Season this year.
Post by: ped579 on April 09, 2012, 09:58:44 AM

It liks like this year will be bad for forest fires.  Right now we have all 3 sections with fires.  With fires going right now.

The worst one seems to be in Southern NJ around the Tabernacle area.  The high winds are not helping and there are about 20 homes in the cone of fire. 

It is only the beginning with hardly any moisture in the are the forest floor os ripe for disaster. 

Be safe out there everyone.
