If anyone lives in the area of the wildfire please PM me asap...I have a hunting cabin in the area of Lucille's Diner on 539. If anyone can find out if that area is in danger of burning I would appreciate it.

just got word from a neighbor that they closed down the parkway here now

hmm wonder how long until the fire gets here sense they are only closing down the exits where the fire is heading but i can say its gotten rather windy and my 11 year old brother is out there making a pile of ashes in the road lol

I just got back from my daily commute from AC to Englishtown. Here's my report:

The parkway was fine from exit 38 to exit 58 where I got off. Route 539 north was closed right at the parkway exit/entrance. Of course, instead of getting back on the parkway, I decided to jump on a local road towards the airport (stafford forge, I guess?) and ended up on route 9. I took route 9 north and then 72 west. The road was closed (way before the intersection with 539) so I turned aroud and got back on the parkway north. It was a freaky sight driving up that way. The smoke was blocking most of the sunlight and the smoke smell was pretty bad. I got off on the Route 37 exit and everything was fine north of that. Hope that helps anyone (who has access to this webstie while they're driving).

Ahh man, I wonder which direction the fire is moving. I dont want to get down there, and then have the parkway closed. I can still take 35 north, but thats a trip.
FYI, if anyone seeds the green machine in on or around rt 37, give it a honk and a wave.

I'll keep that in mind then. I've only eaten there 3 or 4 times while visiting my wife's grandma - always had a good meal.

Anywho, glad to hear that the fire hasn't reached that far. The rain just started pouring here in Ewing, so it should be sweeping across the rest of the state soon.

i can't hear a lot of helicopters this morning... the last couple of days it was constant.... they say they might have control of the fire by noon....

It took my mom (who left early for work the ambers and cinders were wirlfing around in her parking lot) 2 hours to get home! Traffic FTL

They said on the 11:00 news last night that the fire was about 70% contained, and that all roads were open. They were planning on having it all contained today.
