"A second individual has been charged with arson in a major wildfire in New Jersey's Pine Barrens, which has grown to be the state's second-largest in nearly two decades."
"The New Jersey wildfire that has burned for nearly two weeks is now 80% contained, consuming 24 square miles while prosecutors charge another individual with arson."
A 17-year-old has been charged with arson in connection with a major wildfire in New Jersey's Pine Barrens, now the state's second largest fire in almost 20 years. The fire has burned 24 square miles and is reported to be 80% contained. A previous arrest was made a week earlier, when 19-year-old Joseph Kling was charged. These individuals reportedly started the fire using gasoline on wood pallets in a wooded area. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported amid challenging firefighting conditions exacerbated by drought.
