Smell from fire in Wharton State Forest carries to Philadelphia, NYC

[BowhunterNJ]

 

I smelled this last night here in Burlington county, definitely smelled like a forest fire when I first caught a whiff.

Don't think they have it all put out yet, spread over 1500 acres...but rain coming so that should help!

I don't mind the smell but someone has to catch all those fleeing Pineys before they make it across the river.....

Better than the smell of Newark in the summer.

I heard about the fire this morning on the news but when I went out I thought someone had their fireplace going. Now I see they could smell it all the way to NYC, I'm only 15 miles SW of there, wasn't strong but enough to know something was burning somewhere. My neighbors probably thought it was me smoking something again.

Smelt it as soon as I walked out the door this morning in milltown, middlesex county.. Didn't know anything about the fire until reading this, that's unreal that it spread that far

Definitely hard to believe people in NYC could smell it but I had a few friends on FB comment about it in BK and NYC this morning.
