A 19-year-old man has been charged with arson for allegedly sparking the massive wildfire in the New Jersey Pine Barrens that has torched 15,000 acres, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors say that Kling picked up 10 to 20 wooden pallets from a recycling center and drove them into the woods, and used gasoline on two pallets to start the fire, and then eventually the rest of the pallets.
