Pretty major forest fire in Ocean County Stafford Twp.... Originated from an F-16 from the 177th Fighter Wing in Atlantic City...went too low and dropped a flare for some reason....and ignited a forest fire that is now over 2500 acres...as im writing this evacuating some neighboorhood in Stafford Twp...i couldnt catch where....from what i heard at least every company in Ocean County has at least one engine into the east side of the fire for structural protection and Burlington Co. has at least half of that county's stations with at least one engine working the west side of the fire...

Good video, these guys came across the head fire by accident. The deuce and a half was well past it. I commend all of the forest firefighters for all they do. They deal with way more unexplained incindents than we do. Good job!
