Much needed rainfall is forecasted overnight into Thursday morning while bringing big help to New Jersey firefighters who have been working nonstop for two months.If there’s anyone who needs a good soaking rain, it’s New Jersey residents like Debbie Plaia. She invited FOX 29 into the backyard of her Hainsport home where a thick blanket of smoke hangs in the air and flames can still be seen in the distance from the Big Rusty Wildfire.
So I am just hoping we get some rain. We haven’t’ seen any rain in two or three months now" added Plaia.It is first time in 22 years that South Jersey was in the "extreme" drought stage. But the rain forecasted overnight may start to reverse that even if only a little."In many respects, it’s liquid gold.
