Advisory

Smoke and smell coming from Wharton forest fire. Please don't call 911 unless you see fire/smoke from a fire

We've received many calls regarding the strong smell of smoke on the island and the haze. There is a 1000 acre forest fire burning in Burlington County. The way the wind is blowing, the smoke is being pushed right over the island. Please do not call 911 unless you see fire or smoke coming from a structure or vehicle fire.
