Tri-State Wildfires Rage On, Impacting Air Quality and Safety

A massive wildfire, known as the Jennings Creek Wildfire, has expanded to 3,000 acres on the border of Northern New Jersey and Orange County, New York, resulting in the death of an 18-year-old firefighter, Dariel Vasquez. The fire, which is only 10% contained, threatens several buildings but has not prompted evacuations. Efforts to control the blaze are hindered by inaccessibility and ongoing drought conditions, with only minimal rain expected to alleviate the situation.
