episode_narrativeThe combination of the strong west to northwest winds, low humidity levels and recent dry weather helped cause the rapid spread of wildfires across New Jersey during the day on the 19th. In all, ten wildfires, were reported across the state. The largest and most stubborn wildfire started about 530 a.m. EST in a mulch pile near the Reliable Wood Products on Broadway Road in South Brunswick Township in Middlesex County. By the time firefighters arrived, three piles of mulch were on fire with flames up to thirty feet high. It took fifty-eight fire fighters from three counties and the New Jersey Forestry Service to extinguish the blaze at around 930 a.m. EST on the 19th. In West Tuckerton (Ocean County), a wildfire consumed twenty acres before it was contained during the late afternoon of the 19th next to the Atlantis Golf Club. In Manalapan (Monmouth County), a brush fire reached 200 yards in length on Smithburg Road before it was contained. In Dennis Township (Cape May County), it took six fire departments two hours to contain a wildfire that started near a shed (destroyed it) and spread into nearby brush. Other wildfires were reported in Sayreville and Old Bridge in Monmouth County, Vineland in Cumberland County and Gloucester Township in Camden County.
