The Englewood Cliffs wildfire consumed 39 acres in the area of the Palisades Interstate Parkway, in Bergen County. The fire closed local roads like Henry Hudson Drive. The fire was comparably small to other fires that ravaged the state in November, but it was significant as it was yet another sign of the extremely arid conditions New Jersey was suffering from in November.
