🔥 An extremely large brush fire is burning in West Deptford Twp. in the area of Sunoco Refinery property.

💨 Smoke plumes and fallen ash are reported as far south and east as Glassboro, Washington Twp., Franklin Twp. and beyond.

🚨 Onlookers are urged to stay out of the area! The amount of unnecessary vehicle and pedestrian traffic near the fire scene is hindering the emergency response and fire suppression efforts.

🚒 A vast number of resources throughout Gloucester County are on the scene or responding, fighting the fire and protecting structures. Multiple Fire Boats from both sides of the Delaware and teams from New Jersey Forest Fire Service are also assisting.

📣 Conditions are subject to change or worsen due to high winds or fire conditions.

⚠️ Those with health or breathing problems are urged to stay indoors or shut windows, if you are sensitive to smoke.
