New Jersey Forest Fire Service along with Mutable Fire Departments responded to a 77 acre Wildfire off Jacobs Road in Rockaway Twp. The fire was in steep and rocky terrain. After weeks of dry hot weather conditions were just right for this incident. The fire was very remote and difficult to access. Many Structure Departments were called to provide Structure protection. New Jersey Forest Fire Service Helicopter with a bucket assisted. Due to the dry conditions the fire is not only spreading on the surface but is also burning deep into the duff layer. New Jersey Forest Fire Service will put in hose lays and monitor the fire for days to come.
