New Jersey is stinking up New York City! A brush fire in a state park in the southern part of the Garden State is sending the smell of smoke all the way north to New York City, according officials early Monday morning.
“Due to a brush fire in the Wharton State Park in New Jersey, residents in Staten Island & Brooklyn may smell smoke,” tweeted the NYC Office of Emergency Management at around 1:45 a.m.
The nearly 123,000-acre park, located in Burlington County, is roughly 70 miles from the southern tip of New York City. Odors were reported from Staten Island to Brooklyn to Manhattan.
It is unknown at this time what caused the brush fire.
