It's been a busy season for fire crews in New Jersey.
"We've had nine major wildfires this season. Major wildfires are fires we consider to be 100 acres or larger. In a typical year, a busy year, we would normally see four or five," said Chief Greg McLaughlin with the New Jersey Forest Fire Service.
McLaughlin says they are rotating crews from around the state to help, but it's still taking a toll.
"We're definitely showing fatigue. People are tired. People are weary," he said.
Meanwhile, an air quality alert is in effect for several counties in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey due to wildfires burning in Canada.
