Fire crews in Burlington County are battling a fire in the area of County Line Road.Fire crews in New Jersey are battling two wildfires as officials say a recent dry spell has helped allow wildfires to run rampant.
Crews responded to the area of City Line Road in Browns Mills, Burlington County Friday afternoon for reports of a fire. SKYFOX was over the scene where smoke and flames could be seen emerging from a significant portion of the tree line. The New Jersey Forrest Fire Service asked residents to avoid the area and says their crews have responded to the scene to assess the situation. During a press conference Friday evening, officials said the fire had burned 350 acres and was about 20 percent contained, as two structures were in danger and local roads closed to traffic. They anticipated 100 percent containment late Saturday or sometime Sunday. Fire crews were going to be out all night into Saturday, working to contain the blaze.
An additional wildfire took hold in Evesham Township Friday evening, near Kettle Run Road and Bortons Road. Officials said Kettle Run was closed between Sycamore and Braddock Mill. No structures were threatened, as authorities said they expected the fire to grow to about 400 acres before fire crews would be able to contain it.
