Lightning strikes caused 2 different New Jersey wildfires, officials say

Lightning strikes in New Jersey have caused two separate wildfires, according to officials. The fires, which burned through areas of Berkeley and Bass River State Forest, were started by lightning strikes during a recent storm. While firefighters had the fires contained by the end of the weekend, they serve as a reminder of the danger that natural disasters can pose to our communities. Many regions across the country are already struggling with wildfires, and lightning strikes can easily trigger even more. While it is impossible to prevent a storm from happening, officials are urging residents to stay alert and aware of any potential hazards. In addition, it is important to have a plan in place in the event of a natural disaster. Overall, the recent New Jersey wildfires are a reminder that we must always be prepared for the unexpected, especially when it comes to the power of nature.
