Boy, 14, charged with intentionally setting 52-acre NJ forest fire
A 14-year-old boy was arrested last week for allegedly igniting a New Jersey forest fire that destroyed 52 acres in an intentional act of arson, police said.
The teen, of Marlton, NJ, is accused of setting the Oct. 30 blaze that tore through an area near Sycamore Drive and the Berlin Township border over several days, and cops are now investigating if he may have played a role in starting an even larger fire, Evesham police announced Wednesday.
Evesham cops, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service and Evesham firefighters battled the inferno for multiple days and were able to contain it before any structures were damaged, police said in a press release.
