2023 New Jersey Wildfire Season: Dragway Wildfire (Wharton State Forest) Aug 22nd update

August 22nd, 8:45 PM

The Dragway Wildfire has burned 1,700 acres and is at 95 percent containment. Jackson Road remains closed because of smoke impacts and weakened trees from the wildfire. NJ Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) crews will remain on site to monitor containment lines and ensure safety to the public as long as necessary.
