There's an ongoing wildfire warning for the state.

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a special weather statement asking people to be aware of an increased risk for the spread of wildfire over the next several days, largely because humidity is low and expected to drop further on top of below normal levels of rain in the last 90 days.

About 2 to 7in lower than usual.

The state Department of Environmental Protection issued a drought watch on Thursday, asking residents to voluntarily conserve water.

State climatologist Dave Robinson says the past month was the third driest September on record.

According to officials, the lack of rain, mild winds and moderate temperatures create the perfect environment for wildfires to quickly become out of control.

Earlier this week, the new Jersey Forest Fire Service also issued Camp Fire restrictions across the state.

So if you're tempted to start a bonfire in the backyard on these chilly nights, just make sure you're following all the precautions.
