A pair of wildfires that were allegedly set burned a combined 400 acres near the Atlantic City Expressway in Winslow Township in Camden County and started before dawn on the 6th. They were first noticed near Piney Hollow Road and both occurred within the Winslow Fish and Wildlife Management Area near mile marker 32 of the Atlantic City Expressway.  Because of the north to northwest winds, traffic was not affected on the Atlantic City Expressway itself, but eastbound exit 33 was closed. Additionally, the eastbound shoulder of the Atlantic City Expressway was closed between mile markers 31 and 33 for New Jersey Forestry operational needs. The Winslow Fire Service also shut down travel on East Winslow-Williamstown Road.  No residential structures were threatened. The smoke from the fire was seen as far as Trenton to the north and Atlantic City itself to the east.  The smaller fire was contained on the afternoon of the 6th.  As of Noon EDT on the 6th, the larger fire was 20 percent contained; at 2 p.m. EDT on the 6th, 40 percent contained.  At 9 p.m. EDT that evening, exit 33 was reopened, but the shoulder area remained closed for New Jersey Forestry Activity.  At Noon EDT on the 7th, the smaller fire remained 100 percent contained and the larger one was 95 percent contained.  All shoulders along the Atlantic City Expressway were reopened.  Gusty north to northwest winds on the 6th (peak gust 35 mph at the Atlantic City International Airport) and the unusually dry weather helped spread the fire quickly.

In addition to that wildfire, there was also a wildfire on the 6th in Sussex County in Wawayanda State Park in Vernon Township. The Pinwheel Fire was a brush fire that was brought under control by the late morning of the 6th. New Jersey Forest Fire Services (also used helicopters) and Department of Environmental Protection firefighters battled the blaze. The steep terrain and gusty winds caused difficulty for the firefighters. There was  no impact to properties or roadways.

Two separate wildfires occurred in Wawayanda State Park near the Appalachian Trail on the 8th in Sussex County. One burned about 10 acres, the second about 5 acres. The Appalachian Trail in Wawayanda between New Jersey State Route 94 and Barrett Road in Vernon Township was closed due to the wildfire in vicinity of Pinwheel's Vista.  Other smaller wildfires were reported in New Jersey in Warren, Morris, Hunterdon, Middlesex Ocean and Cape May Counties. Both fires were contained by that evening.  Gusty northwest winds on the 8th (with many peak gusts near 40 mph) helped spread the fires more rapidly. There were 57 reported wildfires in New Jersey on the weekend of the 7th and 8th.
