Hacklebarney Brush Fire
On Sunday, 4/29/2012 at 19:26 fire units from Chester and Fairmount were requested to respond to Hacklebarney State Park for a reported brush fire along the RED trail. Responding Chester and Fairmount fire units staged in the parking lot at the entrance to the park. The New Jersey State Forest Fire Service was requested to respond shortly after the Chester Fire Chief arrived and established command. The NJFFS assumed command upon their arrival and started several backfires to control the initial fire. Fairmount units were released shortly after NJFFS arrived. Chester units remained on-scene as their brush truck was in the woods at the scene of the fire.
