Jones Road Wildfire Ocean County New Jersey (EXTREME WILDFIRE BEHAVIOR) OVER 8,500 ACRES BURNT

https://youtu.be/XjEdS-ahVBM?si=KHesXWS7xBOX_STQ

30 minute video

early part of video shows aircraft - at 1 point a huey reloads from a pond

lots of structure engines there with state forestry brush trucks

wind seemed to be 10 to 20 mph aloft - but 1 mph at ground level -
which probably made a huge difference in firefighter safety

some points in the video do show 50 foot trees fully involved

147 - dozer behind dump truck - nj state forest fire service

345 - dozer travels down road

402 - SEAT

715 fire crossing highway

1008 - lighting backfire - "turn truck around" heard on radio

1149 - finally a pumper tanker shows up

1733 - spot fire put out with garden hose - compare that to 50 foot
trees fully involved - lesson learned - its much easier to put out a
ground fire there than a crown fire

2017 - nj natural gas incident command post / mobile command post / mcp

2045 - rigs passing each other in opposite directions

2045 - spot fire across the wide river - right on the river bank -
interesting - we suspect a burning frog was involved - maybe a burning
duck - and thats why elephants have flat feet

2136 - commercial bld on fire

2211 - water does nothing at bld fire

2400 - fire near big red tank

2430 - 2 ladder pipes vs destroyed bld

2744 - dozer travels down road again
