Mornin’!

We hope that everyone in the area has remained safe during the Jones Road Wildfire that has been active since Tuesday. And thank you to the first responders and firefighters who have been working around the clock to knock this thing out.

As of schedule time of this newsletter yesterday afternoon, the fire has been 35% contained. If you’re looking for an accurate source to track the fire and it’s impact, we suggest following the New Jersey Forest Fire Service’s page.

Now, here’s what’s happening this week…
