The Jennings Creek Fire, which is being fueled by strong winds, continues to grow despite overnight rainfall.
Chris Franek, Assistant Division Fire Warden with the New Jersey Forest Fire Service, warned that the region is experiencing a historically dry spell, with forest conditions drier than usual.
"We are currently in historical numbers for our critical fuels, or the forest floor being dried out, and we're seeing things we haven’t seen in quite some time here in New Jersey," Franek said. The combination of dry conditions and strong winds is expected to continue posing a significant threat.
The fire has already claimed the life of 18-year-old Dariel Vasquez, a volunteer with the New York State Parks Department, who died while fighting the blaze in Sterling Forest near Greenwood Lake.
Meanwhile, on the West Coast, the Mountain Fire near Los Angeles has burned over 20,000 acres. While it is 36% contained, authorities are concerned that gusty winds could worsen the situation, further threatening nearby communities.
