A hotbed of wildfires

It's the third potentially large wildfire in Burlington County in the past two weeks of what has been a very active wildfire season in New Jersey.

Just a week ago the Flatiron Wildfire in Medford burned Township through 82 acres. The Allen Road fire in the Bass River State Forest burned around 5,000 acres the week before.

The Glory Wildfire burned 82 acres in Jackson on Tuesday and Wednesday.

While no specific warnings were issued Friday about wildfires, conditions remain dry and conducive to the rapid spread of fires, according to Meteorologist Dan Zarrow, who added that there is a chance of showers and thunderstorms Friday afternoon.
