New Jersey wildfire: Rage continues despite rainfall, firefighters combat blazes | N18G

A wildfire, known as the Jennings Creek Fire, is burning along the New York-New Jersey border, having consumed about 5,000 acres and is 20% contained. Despite some rainfall on November 11, which slowed the fire's progression, strong winds and dry conditions continue to fuel its spread. The fire has already caused one fatality, with an 18-year-old New York State Parks employee, Dariel Vasquez, dying in the blaze. The fire is a part of a broader wildfire crisis in the region, with New Jersey experiencing a week of multiple wildfires. As of the latest reports, parts of New Jersey face "extreme" fire danger, particularly in the southern areas. While rain has offered temporary relief, forecasts predict worsened conditions with stronger winds and lower humidity. Local authorities are working to establish containment lines to prevent further damage, while hundreds of firefighters are mobilized to tackle the crisis.
