What to know about peak wildfire season in New Jersey

WNYC News | Apr 21

New York and New Jersey are entering their peak wildfire season, which runs from mid-March to mid-May. NJ officials say there's a particular concern for the forests in the Garden State, where conditions are dryer and windier than state forest fire officials are comfortable with.

Greg McLaughlin is the administrator for Forests and Natural Lands for New Jersey,  which oversees the state's Forest Fire Service. He joins WNYC's Sean Carlson to discuss what to look out for during peak wildfire season.
