Brick Fire

[MadReefer]

How is everyone with this fire? It jumped across Rt70 to Costco area. That is about 2 miles from house.
I'm not home now and hope I can get back in case power goes out. They are using helicopters to collect water from one of the lakes in my village.

Brick lake park neighborhoods have evacuated and the winds are supposed to pickup

 

[MadReefer]

Where is that? I'm in Leisure Village right iff Rt70.

Hope everyone is ok. We have relatives down there and my wife is stuck at her sisters' in Barnegate now.

Well the fire spread to Airport road which is across from my development. My house sits 1.5 miles back.

Just got home; was at my stepdaughters house. They closed Rt9 done towards Brick on Rt70. I was allowed to Rt70 home per police. Sad part is we have a third entrance. Wife called guardhouse to see if it was open and they were clueless. Then the back gate I was told use was not working. Some old lady blocked the entrance and couldn't figure out hiw to back out. That 15min of bull **** gave me a damn headache. Bunch morons.

It's surprising how some people are allowed to have licenses.

How is it going now? I didn't realize it continued through the night. The winds were horrible last night. I read one firefighter was in critical condition, i pray he makes it through.

Not sure right now; as of 8am Rt70 closed from Rt88 to the PKWY.
