Longtime Evesham homeowners say they only dealt with this a few times, but this past year alone, this is their third fire. The fire service says they have been working every day for more than a month with a record 400 fires statewide in October.The "major" wildfire comes just a day after the "Shotgun Wildfire" erupted in the Colliers Mills Wildlife Management Area near Stump Tavern Road in Jackson Township.
