North Jersey is currently under “extreme” fire danger, while Central and South Jersey are under “high” to “very high” fire danger, according to the NJ Forest Fire Service.

The National Weather Service issued a statement Wednesday morning warning of an increased risk of wildfire spread across the state as it contends with low relative humidity levels, dry fuels and gusty winds throughout the day Wednesday.

“Due to the combination of marginal winds and very low relative humidity levels, these conditions could promote the rapid spread of fires that could ignite and quickly become difficult to control,” the NWS reported.
