I was lucky I am in Howell NJ about 3 miles north and east from a 160 acre forest fire.
Winds were high speed 30-40 mph and blew all smoke away from my area. They also pushed the fire south and east away from my area.
The fire is not quite under control. At the moment. 1 fire fighter may have had a heart attack fighting it.
