A wildfire is raging in southern New Jersey and is raging until Monday night, June 20.
Worton County’s forest fires have reached at least 12,000 hectares, affecting several cities in the state, including Hammonton, Mulica, Shamong and Washington.
Local authorities are reportedly being urged to contain the New Jersey wildfires.
However, fire weather conditions are exacerbating the fire.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or severe damage to property.
The wildfires are relatively small in the Garden State compared to the wildfires in the drought-stricken western and southwestern states of the United States.
Although the exact cause of the fire is not yet known, the ensuing fire is in line with the temperature in Central America and its environs.
