Is there someone we should write letters to?

They Said June 2002
Smoky, smoky here in NJ. We have a 1000+ acre fire that has shut down 24 mi of the Garden State Pkwy. Very dry and windy. If you know NJ it's between Pinewald and the Double Trouble State Park. I'm glad CDF is stepping up right away to say it was an escape... If it went the way of the Martis and Fallbrook Fires, it might otherwise suggest a pattern of CDF non-accountability. At least BLM took responsibility right away for the Lowden Fire on the Shasta-T. When escapes happen, we all look bad.
