A pair of wildfires in Burlington County -- one in Browns Mills and another in Evesham -- could burn for months, as officials say the area needs precipitation to ensure these fires are extinguished.
A pair of wildfires that firefighters are currently attempting to contain in New Jersey could continue to burn for"a couple of months" officials warned, as the area is in need of precipitation.
"You could see these fires not be declared out for a couple months, worst case," said Scott Freedman, deputy chief of the Evesham Township Fire-Rescue. During an event on Saturday morning, intended to update the response on a pair of wildfires in Burlington County -- one in Browns Mills and another in Evesham -- Freedman said that the region has seen above normal temperatures and below normal precipitation this year, leading to conditions that make it easier for wildfires to spread.
And, the forecast for the near future, he said, doesn't seem to call for much rain to help extinguish these fires."It doesn't look like there's a whole lot of relief going forward," said Freedman."Up until Mother Nature speaks, it's just a best guess.
