So after finishing work I went out to mow the front lawn, and the air smelled strongly of wood smoke, and it was so hazy that it almost looked like fog. Turns out there's a wildfire in Jackson, about 30 miles south of us, that just started a few hours ago. Last I looked, it was only 15 acres in size but it was 0% contained. And it's not the first this season, we've already had a few others in the past month or so.
Wildfires in NJ don't often get very large unless they start in the heart of the Pine Barrens (where they're actually part of the forest life cycle), and Jackson is toward to top edge of the Barrens. It'll probably get controlled in the next day or two, but until then we'll have unhealthy air conditions around here.
