According to officials, the extremely dry leaves and brush have brought an early start to the Fall forest fire season.
“Without having significant rain as of recently, it adds to the ability for the fire to spread,” said Jeremy Webber of the NJ Forest Fire Service.
Flames burned five acres in Weymouth Township, NJ, weeks before the usual start of the Fall fire season in mid-October.
“Fire activity has been picking up a little bit,” said Larry Birch of the NJ Forest Fire Service. “It’s definitely earlier than normal from the previous years.”
