NJ wildfires

So my mom called me to tell me they are evacuating parts of Ocean County NJ because of a very bad wild fire which has started. My grandfathers retirement community was just evacuated...they actually put them up in Atlantic City hotels. Pretty intense stuff going on. Good chance he is going to lose his house

I hope no one else is in the same area.
If so good luck!

I heard that it started from an F-16 flare. Bad stuff.
