Drought And Fires

Both North and South Jersey have been plagued by wildfires during dry conditions over the past few weeks, as well as building fires. An 18-year-old firefighter from Rockland County, N.Y. died fighting the wildfires near the New Jersey/New York border.

Both Trenton International Airport and Atlantic City International Airport have gone without measurable rainfall for more than a month, breaking records. The 34-day record in Atlantic City was set in 1995, and Trenton's record of 38 days without measurable rainfall had been set all the way back in 1865.
