Pretty big fire looks to be a few blocks from my house. Saw it about an hour ago and looked like a house fire. Now it's spreading quickly.

Looks like the author is a bit confused. The name of my town is "National Park".

You ought to move out West or to Texas. You'll get to enjoy things like this on a regular basis. Be safe.

I had to Google that to make sure I understood what you meant but now that I do, that's just some sorry quality reporting right there. It's one thing if I don't know there's a town named National Park but it's a whole other matter for someone in a position of writing a story about it not to know.

Meanwhile, more importantly, watch your ass & get out of there if things start to get too interesting.

Looks like they've pretty much got it out now, or it's moving away from me.

I took some pictures from a back window, but I can't find the cable that connects the camera to my PC.

If you zoom in and find Princeton Ave, right on the border of Red Bank Battlefield, the fire was between 2nd and 4th street. I live a few blocks to the north of that.

Found it. Here they are (my camera is old - not very good quality).

That is very dramatic, sab. Glad you're safe.

Wow.

Scary pictures. Glad things are under control.
