1.5 miles from my house. 5-alarm fire. We could hear popping sounds, I assume from small containers of some sort popping in the heat. A good amount of smoke lit from beneath by the fire for an hour or so (around 8:30-9:30), but they got it under control pretty quickly.
And yes, Bound Brook does flood, and is chock full of illegals. But it’s also home to Stan’s Chitch’s Cafe - killer thin crust pizza!
