Power outages forced because the fire had also left at least 25,000 customers in the dark even though there were no injuries throughout the state of New Jersey reported on Wednesday morning.

The forecast on Wednesday is estimated to be windy all morning with winds of speed up to 20 mph from the north, but the wind must be calm this afternoon when high pressure starts to move to the area with the next chance for rain for New Jersey starting Friday night.
