✅   New Jersey wildfire scorches 15,000 acres, arson suspected

A massive wildfire in New Jersey's Pine Barrens has burned about 15,000 acres, leading to mandatory evacuations and significant challenges for firefighters. The wildfire, one of the largest in recent state history, was exacerbated by dry, windy conditions. Authorities have charged a 19-year-old with arson, suspecting an improperly extinguished bonfire as the cause [13][2]. Despite progress in containment, thousands were initially evacuated, and the fire remains a grave concern due to regional drought conditions [9][12]. Traffic disruptions and air quality concerns further heightened the impact [5][7].
