Updates on recent major wildfires in New Jersey as of about 10 AM EDT on April 28th, with updates as noted in the text.

Degolia Wildfire (Section C6, Camden County)
According to an April 28 8:30 AM EDT update on the New Jersey Forest Fire Service Section B10 webpage, this fire is at 50 percent containment, burning at least 800 acres. There are some nice photos on this webpage of the Degolia Fire along with some photos from last week's fires.

• Courier Post on Degolia Fire (04/27/14 at 9:30 PM EDT) with videos
• NBCNews10 Philadelphia (4/28/14 early morning video report
• WABC7 NYC (4/28/14 7:15 AM)

The fire is now at 80 percent containment according to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service Section B10 webpage at 5:30 PM on April 28. This fire is now contained, I'm not sure when, but I saw the report on May 2 on the New Jersey Forest Fire Service Section B10 webpage.

Update April 30, 2014 at 9:30 AM: as I write this the New Jersey Forest Fire Service Section B10 webpage continues to have a report on this wildfire on their homepage, however, I don't know how much longer (due to space constraints) they will continue to be able to provide updates on this wildfire on their homepage.

Springers Brook Wildfire (Section B1, Burlington County)
My friends at the New Jersey Forest Fire Service Section B10 webpage reported in an update on April 25th at 1700 hours EDT that this fire was contained at 200 acres.

White Oak Wildfire (Division C, Gloucester County)
In an update on the White Oak Wildfire on April 27 (noon) on the New Jersey Forest Fire Service Section B10 webpage, this fire burned 569 acres and is 100 percent contained.

Railroad Wildfire (Section C3, Cumberland County)
The Railroad Wildfire in Downe Township, Cumberland County NJ is 100 percent contained at 1,535 acres according to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service Section B10 webpage.

Continental Wildfire and Crossroads Wildfire (Section B7, Berkeley Township, Ocean County)
The Continental Wildfire has been contained. I have no further information on the Crossroads Wildfire that I reported on here on April 25th. On the morning of April 29th, I went to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service Section B10 webpage and saw that they are reporting that the Crossroads fire is contained. Some of you might be interested in some mapping and pictures of these two fires in an article from the Shore News Network (4/25/14).

Update on April 30, 2014 at 9:30 AM EDT: the New Jersey Forest Fire Service Section B10 website only keeps reports on major fires on the home page for a few days after the fire. At the time I write this, they are no longer providing reports/updates for the following wildfires on their homepage: Railroad, White Oak, and Springers Brook. While the New Jersey Forest Fire Service Section B10 website is no longer reporting on either the Continental and Crossroads Wildfires on their home page, they have some photos of the Crossroads Wildfire in their smaller 2014 wildfire page (hover over the photo for the name/location of the fire in the photo; and the have an incident page for the Continental Wildfire on their fires/incidents photo gallery page.
