Dozens of firefighters across New Jersey battled three wildfires Saturday night in separate parts of the state, as weekend gusts helped spread the flames.
The fires ― in Gloucester Township, Hopewell Township and Pennsville ― erupted while gusts as high as 45 mph were recorded on Saturday. All of the fires remained under investigation on Sunday.
Parts of central and southern New Jersey were at an increased risk of wildfires as the windy conditions were expected to continue Sunday.
The New Jersey Forest Fire Service said it was investigating reports of two additional fires in Jackson Township in Ocean County and Winslow Township in Camden County on Sunday. No other information about the investigations was available.
In Gloucester Township, about 100 firefighters and first responders from 20 agencies battled the blaze that emerged near a former landfill, local police said.
The landfill, which collected waste between 1969 and 1980, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, was unaffected by the fire, as were solar panels on the property, Gloucester Township Police Chief David Harkins told NJ Advance Media in an email.
Occupants of two homes evacuated temporarily but returned to their properties by Sunday morning, Gloucester Township police said. Erial Road was closed for about four hours while firefighters fought the blaze, which is believed to have reached 40 acres. Parts of Hickstown Road were also closed intermittently to help firefighters access the woods, police said.
