Firefighters continue to fight fires in New Jersey amid worsening weather conditions that could contribute to rapid fire spread.

A wildfire warning has been issued for New Jersey due to strong winds and dry conditions, with the National Weather Service forecasting wind gusts up to 40 mph, increasing the risk of rapidly spreading fires. The warning, effective from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on April 12, 2023, covers several counties including Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Mercer, Ocean, and Salem. New Jersey Forest Fire Service's Chief Greg McLaughlin emphasized the heightened fire danger due to the combination of dry fuels and strong winds, urging residents to avoid any outdoor burning. This alert comes as a reminder of the state's vulnerability to wildfires, especially after experiencing significant fires in previous years.
