2025 New Jersey Wildfire Season: California Branch Wildfire - Wharton State Forest

March 22nd, 6:15 PM 


According to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service's post on Facebook about this fire at about 4 PM on Saturday, March 22nd, there are road closures in the area of this wildfire. Eighteen structures are threatened with no evacuations. The New Jersey Forest Fire Service is on the scene with engines, bulldozers and ground crews. In addition, there is a New Jersey Forest Fire Service on the scene making aerial observations. The next update is due at 9 PM, and I will try to make an update at that time. I first learned of this fire from my friends at the B10 NJ Wildfire Page. NBC 10 Philadelphia is reporting on this fire in a report that may be found here.


March 22nd, 7:50 PM

Eighteen structures remain threatened but the wildfire is moving away from these structures. The New Jersey Forest Fire Service remains on scene. This same information with more information on road closures are available on the NJ Forest Fire Service's Facebook page on a 7:45 PM post
