A 14-year-old boy is to blame for at least one of the wildfires that broke out recently in South Jersey, according to officials per Fox News Philadelphia. 

The fire began on October 30 and scorched more than 50 acres around Sycamore Drive in Evesham Township, lasting for several days.

Officials found evidence that the fire was started intentionally, and they identified a teenager who they believe ignited it. The teen’s name has not been released. 

The 14-year-old has been arrested and charged with aggravated arson and putting others at risk for injury or damage. Police are looking into whether this fire is linked to the

“Bethany Run Wildfire,”

which burned 375 acres and led to evacuations on November 7. 

New Jersey is currently under a fire restriction because state officials have declared a drought warning due to

“historically low precipitation.”
