New Jersey Forest Fire Service crews patrolling wildfire sites as risk stays high
25ds agoThe New Jersey Forest Fire Services says that two wildfires in Burlington County are now 100% contained.
Crews were fighting fires in the Brendan T. Bryne State Forset in Browns Mills, as well as a fire near Kettle Run Road in Evesham Township.
The fires started on Friday and have burned a total of more than 1,500 acres –about twice the size of Central Park.
Officials say that residents may still see smoke in the area for an extended period while crews “work to mop up the wildfires.”
No buildings were damaged and no injuries were reported.
The New Jersey Forest Fire Service says they need a soaking rainfall of several inches spread out over a couple of days to knock down the threat of wildfires.
