WINSLOW TWP. -- Fire crews are currently battling two forest fires along the Atlantic City Expressway in Winslow Township, which they believe are suspicious in nature.

The fires, which broke out Friday morning, are currently engulfing more approximately 400 acres of land according to state officials. It is not clear at this time if the fire is making its way into Atlantic County.

The first fire, which is taking place in Piney Hollow, covers 25 acres and is 100-percent contained according to officials. The second fire, which is in Winslow Twp., cover 375 acres and is 50-percent contained.

Planes are dropping water on the fire while crowds of people gather on a nearby expressway to witness the event. Smoke is also visible from roughly 30 miles down the Expressway. Both burns are running adjacent to each other but are contained to the forest and no homes are in danger.

Exit 33 on the eastbound side of the Expressway has been closed off for the time being.

This story is still developing. NBC 40 will have more details as they become available.

By SARAH WATSON, Staff WriterpressofAtlanticCity.com

Today’s warm temperatures, gusty winds and ongoing dry conditions have led the National Weather Service to warn of an increased risk of wildfires today.

The Weather Service also has issued a freeze warning for Atlantic, Cumberland and Ocean Counties for early Friday, due to forecasted low temperatures likely going below freezing in some places tonight and early tomorrow morning.

Today’s high temperatures are expected to be in the low to mid 60s across the region and winds could gust to 35 mph this afternoon, the weather service said. The greatest risk that wildfires could spread quickly, if ignition occurs, will be late this morning through late afternoon, when the humidity is lowest, the weather service said.

Temperatures already at 6 a.m. across the region, including along the coast, were in the upper 50s to the low 60s.

The National Drought Monitor, which last week listed all of New Jersey as abnormally dry, will release a new report later this morning. Check back for more information.
