UPDATED: Brush Fires Temporarily Close Portion of Route 47

 

By Harry B. Scheeler Jr.

MIDDLE TOWNSHIP – Two brush fires caused traffic delays here on Route 47 in the Goshen and Green Creek sections of the township.
At 1:41 p.m. Goshen Fire Department and the New Jersey State Forest Fire Service were dispatched to a brush fire here on Route 47. When units arrived they requested mutual aid from Cape May Court House Fire Department.
Middle Township police stopped traffic while the firefighters worked to put out the fire. Traffic was eventually restored to one lane with the south bound lane closed for about and hour.
A second brush fire was reported shortly after the Goshen fire at 1:48 p.m. in the Green Creek section of the township on Route 47 in the area of Pool Zone. Green Creek Fire Department and the State Forest Fire Service responded to that fire.
An Arson K-9 from the Cape May County Sheriffs office was requested to both scenes. No injuries were reported.
Both fires are under investigation by the Cape May County Fire Marshals office.
