| episode_narrative | The strong northwest winds, low humidity levels and unseasonably dry November helped rapidly spread wildfires in New Jersey on the weekend of the 23rd and 24th. The largest wildfire occurred in Old Bridge (Middlesex County) and consumed about 230 acres near the Cheesequake State Park. The fire was first reported about 8 a.m. EST on the 24th east of Dock Road. The fire spread toward the Central Park Development toward Washington Avenue and Michelle Avenue. Several residents were evacuated. Morristown Road and New Jersey State Route 34 were closed. Cheesequake State Park was also closed as a precaution. Over 70 apparatuses were used to fight the fire. The fire was contained at 330 p.m. EST on the 24th and residents were permitted to return. New Jersey State Route 34 was re-opened later that day.||The second largest wildfire occurred in Port Monmouth north of Pew Creek in Monmouth County on the evening of the 23rd. The fire was reported at 735 p.m. EST on the evening of the 23rd. The wildfire burned woods and weeds between William Street, Port Monmouth Road and Bray Avenue. Residents on Port Monmouth Road and William Street were asked to evacuate as their homes were threatened. Seventy-five firefighters helped battle the blaze. The fire was declared under control at 910 p.m. EST on the 23rd and firefighters left at 11 p.m. EST that evening. The siding of one home was damaged by the heat, but no injuries were reported.||During the early morning of the 24th, in Franklin Township (Gloucester County) on Tuckahoe Road, another wildfire consumed about an acre of forest as well as a two car garage, a shed and a boat. The fire was declared under control in about an hour. No injuries were reported. Other smaller wildfires occurred in East Windsor Township in Mercer County, Edison and Old Bridge in Middlesex County and Middletown and Howell in Monmouth County.||Peak wind gusts averaged around 50 mph and helped rapidly spread the wildfires.
