The first measurable rainfall over New Jersey in weeks raised hopes on Monday of snuffing out a rash of wildfires that has plagued the state, while stronger winds brought concern that a California blaze that had already destroyed dozens of structures could start expanding again.

New York has issued a statewide burn ban, while New Jersey is on the verge of issuing a drought warning as firefighters continue to battle the now 5,000-acre wildfire on the border of the two states.

The Jennings Creek wildfire is still burning as of Monday morning, according to officials. The wildfire has burned 5,000 acres, spanning from New Jersey to New York and is only 20% contained, according to Bryan Gallagher,
