Crews were dispatched at 3:11 a.m. to the area of Money Island on Waste Management property near the Delaware River in Falls Township for a report of a brush fire.
According to the Falls Township Fire Company, a lack of access to the remote location delayed efforts to find the blaze.
The Falls Township assistant chief eventually located a deep-seated woods fire covering approximately 2 acres, the fire company said.

Additional field apparatus were called to the scene to assist in the effort to fight the flames.
Firefighters remained in service for several hours, working to extinguish and overhaul the fire.

The incident occurred during a period of high brush fire risk across the region late last week. Notable large brush fires were also reported in Central Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
