episode_narrativeA wildfire consumed approximately 1,600 acres of forest in Wharton State Forest in Washington Township (Burlington County) until it was contained. The wildfire started on the afternoon of the 6th. A wind shift and increase in overall wind speed associated with the passage of a sea breeze front around 5 p.m. EDT that afternoon helped spread the fire faster. Aviation resources were used to help battle the blaze as the fire was located in an extremely remote area of the state forest and resources were having trouble accessing the fire area due to poor road conditions. The wildfire was about 30 percent contained at 930 p.m. EDT on the 6th. Due to the wind shift from the sea breeze front and then the overall synoptic scale easterly flow, the smoke from the wildfire could be smelled throughout Burlington and Ocean Counties. Cooler and moister conditions coupled with afternoon rain on the 7th helped the New Jersey Forest Fire Service achieve 100 percent containment of the wildfire at 4 p.m. EDT that afternoon.||At the opposite end of the state, a few smaller wildfires occurred in Sussex County from the 6th into the night of the 7th. The largest was a 75 acre wildfire on a mountain ridge behind an A&P Supermarket on County Route 515 in Vernon Township. Forty firefighters battled the blaze and water from Highland Lake was used to extinguish it. Smaller brush fires charred 9 acres along U.S. Route 206 in Byram Township. Other brush fires occurred along State Route 15 in Sparta Township and Twin Oaks Road in Stillwater Township.
