“No Kings Day” protests against the Trump administration are set to take place all over the country today. One of the biggest gatherings happens here in Philadelphia. The demonstrations are in response to President Trump's military parade in Washington and ICE raids and the deployment of military and National Guard troops in LA. A wildfire in Shamong Township, Burlington County, is burning into its second day this morning. The New Jersey Forest Fire Service said last night that the Mines Sprung Wildfire had spread to more than 3-thousand acres and was 30 percent contained. Many of us in Philadelphia and beyond could smell smoke in the air late last night and into the morning. There are roads closed around the Carranza Memorial, where the fire is located, as well forest road closures and one hiking trail, the Batona trail. Firefighters have been battling the fire with engines, helicopters, and bulldozers since it started around 11 yesterday morning. Officials remind everyone to avoid flying drones in the fire zone, because firefighting helicopters cannot fly if there are drones in the airspace. They will issue another update this morning around 8:30 AM. Investigators say an early morning fire yesterday in Strawberry Mansion that left two children and a pregnant woman dead was intentionally set. Starting tomorrow (Sunday) SEPTA is suspending all service on the Chestnut Hill East regional rail line for the entire summer, so that it can do bridge maintenance. Anyone who’s been to a grocery store in New Jersey has probably seen the Jersey Fresh signs to alert shoppers of locally grown fruit and vegetables. Now, lawmakers in Trenton are working on a similar campaign for locally sourced seafood.
