The Jennings Creek wildfire has burned more than 3,000 acres and caused the death of at least one person

Fire crews are continuing to battle a large wildfire spreading across New Jersey and New York amid an increase in wildfires in the north-eastern US.

Much of the region is currently facing a drought and dry conditions across almost the whole country have made wildfires a more frequent occurrence, with windy periods further exacerbating potential or existing fires.
