Wildfires can be frightening, disruptive, and deadly. Although for some reason people are fascinated.

We had many people stopping and taking pics of the fire as it burned through Wharton State Forest.

Thankfully there were no reported injuries and the local firefighters were gaining control as every hour passed.

Check out these pics submitted by our listeners through the free New Jersey 101.5 app.
