More than 900 wildfires have been reported in New Jersey from the start of the year through Oct. 21. Four of the blazes have been “major” in severity, burning more than 100 acres each. Rainfall in the Garden State has been below-average for the past five months, allowing the fire season, which typically begins mid-October, to begin early.
