Recent wildfires in the New Jersey Pinelands are now largely under control, according to officials. One fire, located within the Brendan T. Byrne State Forest in Burlington County, has been completely contained. While this fire covered approximately 1.3 square miles, firefighters continue to address lingering hotspots, and smoke may still be visible in the area. Drivers are advised to exercise caution due to potential smoke drift.

A separate fire in Evesham Township, also in Burlington County, has reached 90% containment. This fire encompassed just over a square mile. Authorities have confirmed that no injuries resulted from either fire, and the structures previously considered at risk are now safe. The cause of the Brendan T. Byrne State Forest fire is still being investigated.
