episode_narrativeThe second wildfire of the weekend affected Cheesequake State Park and adjacent parts of Old Bridge Township on the Saturday afternoon and evening of the 28th. The fire began about 2 p.m. EDT on Saturday the 28th and burned into Cheesequake State Park. The fire forced the evacuation of 25 homes in Old Bridge Township, closed some roadways and forced the closure and the evacuation of campers within Cheesequake State Park. The park was reopened the next day. Siding was singed on several homes. Otherwise, damage was limited to sheds, fences and landscaping. The fire was declared under control at 10 p.m. EDT the evening of the 28th. About 151 acres were burned. Cheesequake State Park was reopened the next day. The three fires that occurred around this weekend near Cheesequake State Park were allegedly set by a few juveniles. The unseasonably dry weather during the second half of April and the gusty northwest winds on the 28th helped spread the fires quickly.
