Delaware has the worst air quality in the country from NJ wildfire

Delaware Wildland Fire Supervisor Sam Topper warns of increase in wildfires
Don’t burn fires outdoors, the Delaware Fire Service urges.
The worst air in the country on June 14 is in New Castle County.
The air quality index in Wilmington as of 9:45 a.m. was 227, which is “very unhealthy,” according to AirNow. A monitor in Newark was at 240.
Before sunrise, the air quality index was a “hazardous” 422 in Wilmington.
The air quality index, or AQI, is a standardized rating system that assesses the severity of air pollution on a scale ranging from 0 to 500. The higher the number, the worse the quality.
An AQI below 50 is considered optimal; between 51 and 100 is considered moderate; and above 100, unhealthy.
Code Red alert issued for Delaware
The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control has issued a Code Red alert, advising New Castle County residents to stay indoors; keep vents, windows and doors shut; and wear a mask if going outdoors.
Hazardous smoke from a wildfire in southern New Jersey is being blown toward Wilmington and northern Delaware. The Mines Sprung Fire in Wharton State Forest in Burlington County was reported by the New Jersey Forest Service on June 13. An update on June 14 said the fire has burned 4,200 acres and is 40% contained. The cause is still under investigation.
National Weather Service meteorologist Joe DeSilva said the smoke is particularly bad in New Castle County because of a variety of unfortunate factors. The smoke got trapped under an inversion layer, which happens when warm air sits above cold air at the surface. This was combined with northeast winds, putting New Castle County in the crosshairs.
Delaware air quality affects events
Several events have been moved indoors or canceled already. The Special Olympics Delaware has canceled its Summer Games outdoor events.
Rain showers are in the forecast for the entire region this weekend, so fire crews in New Jersey could get some help from the weather.

Hidden cameras found in bathrooms on Ocean City, New Jersey, boardwalk; police investigating

Police in Ocean City, New Jersey, are investigating after multiple hidden cameras were found in public bathrooms along the Boardwalk this week.
On Thursday, officers responded to a restroom at 6th Street and the Boardwalk in the Jersey Shore destination and spoke with a woman who found a hidden camera.
All other public restrooms on the boardwalk were then searched and “several additional cameras” were found in restrooms at 10th Street and 11th Street, according to police.
Fallon Conway, who found the first device, shared pictures showing that it looked like a pen or marker.
Police told CBS News Philadelphia these are family-style restrooms, which are often where beachgoers change before going onto the sand or after leaving the beach.
Officers will now be stationed at the restrooms and conducting additional checks, police said.
No charges or arrests have been announced yet. Anyone with information is asked to contact detectives at 609-525-9131 or email Lt. Dan Lancaster at DLancaster@ocnj.us.
“I want to assure the public that our detectives will use every available resource to find the person who placed these cameras, and any suspect will be prosecuted to the fullest,” Mayor Jay Gillian said in a statement.
