At least six wildfires are actively burning across New Jersey as gusty winds, dry brush and low humidity provide fueling conditions for fire activity.

As wildfires continue to burn across NJ, wind gusts up to 30 mph have fueled a Red Flag Warning for the entire state as well as neighboring states.

New Jersey has battled 306 wildfires since Oct. 20, up from about 28 during the same period last year. Connecticut has responded to nearly 150 in the past month, after facing just five in 2023. This past October was the driest on record in New Jersey; Connecticut is experiencing its most parched stretch since 1905.
