Great footage. Tragic for the area. Question: although a bit further down, does FDNY have mutual aid agreements with Ocean County? Fire is about 1.25 hours from Staten Island.

11,000 acres as of 4pm. Might be NJ’s largest wildfire in 20 years.

Doubt it, though since the Marine Units have responded to Deleware before (at least I think it was Deleware) I'm assuming them would respond to Ocean County if the Coast Guard needed them.
 
Fire is about 50% contained at 13,000 acres. Units doing good work down there after only 2 days and being majority volunteer depts. This part of NJ is extremely rural.
