New Jersey wildfire sparked on Halloween amid record-high temperatures [Video]

Firefighters in New Jersey spent Halloween evening tamping down flames around Downe Township in the southern part of the state, while a multi-acre wildfire broke out Friday morning in Morris County, in northern New Jersey.

These are just a few of hundreds of wildfires and brush fires that have burned through parts of the Northeast amid what has been a month of bone-dry conditions.

The aptly named Halloween Fire near Downe Township has reached 110 acres and is currently 20% contained, according to social media posts from the New Jersey Forest Fire Service.

However, the Forest Fire Service believes that the fire will only reach 140 acres due to operations on Thursday night. Authorities have not reported any injuries and no structures have been threatened.

Several roads were closed and some New Jersey Transit trains were suspended Friday morning, but the rail service reported that service had resumed with delays.
