2025 Ocean County, New Jersey Wildfires
All 2025 Ocean County Fires
A fire is listed here when it is located in Ocean County. Each complex is counted once, through its parent: the parent carries the complex's acres, and its member fires are listed beneath it without being counted again. A fire that crossed a county line is listed with the acres that burned in Ocean County, not its whole reported size. A fire located elsewhere that burned into Ocean County is listed too, at its Ocean County acres, and is not added to the Ocean County fire counts. County lines come from a different boundary dataset than state lines, so Ocean County's acres are counted along county lines and can differ a little at the edges from the figures on the state page.
No fires are tracked in Ocean County for the 2025 season. This table lists every fire the season statistics count for Ocean County; for 2025 that list is empty. Statistics update with each data-update cycle, which normally runs about every 5 minutes.

Burn severity · Ocean County 2025
Burned acres in Ocean County for the 2025 season, split by how severely each cell of ground burned. Each figure counts the 30 m cells inside a fire's latest mapped perimeter, measured from satellite imagery. The Fires tab carries the reported season acreage.
Severity comes from the differenced normalized burn ratio (dNBR), the same index the federal burn severity programs publish, classified with the standard thresholds.
This is an initial assessment. Trees keep dying for months after a burn, so severity in forest reads conservative until the official assessments arrive after the season.
This tab fills in once a Ocean County fire from the 2025 season has been assessed. Assessments arrive within a few days of a perimeter, once the satellite has flown over and the sky is clear.
