NJ Forest Fire

New Jersey is on fire, as we speak. It started off smaller, around 5:30-6:00 it was 2500 acres, which, is huge. Now, at nearly 9:00 at night - my husband, who is a firefighter here in Medford, and down on the scene said it's up to an estimated 5000 acres. The towns of WarrenGrove, and Pine Grove are in imminent danger of being taken by the fire. Manahawkin is being evacuated along with other areas, all of Rt 72 is closed - including Coyle Field, which is where emergency medical helicopters fly out of and are stored. This is huge.
Here's some quick snap shots my hubby was able to snag on the way in, they're pretty far from the actual scene, and they're blurry, cause he was still moving on the truck when he took them, if I get more, I'll add them.
Please pray for everyone in these areas! Fire is a viscous thing, and it multiplies something like 17 times it's size every minute, if it's not contained, there are many men and women out there fighting it back, so please pray for them that they all stay safe and are able to contain this fire. I know first hand the devastation fire leaves behind, so, pray there won't be any more effected by it.
