Richard Shashaty, a 37-year-old from Brick Township, has been charged with arson and firearm violations for igniting the Shotgun Wildfire in Jackson Township, New Jersey. The fire, which started on November 6, was caused by Shashaty firing Dragons Breath shotgun shells at the Central Jersey Rifle Range, igniting 350 acres of land. Dragons Breath shells, known for their incendiary properties, are prohibited in New Jersey due to their potential to cause fires. The fire threatened 25 homes, prompting evacuations, but was 90% contained by Friday. Shashaty surrendered to authorities on November 9 and is currently held at the Ocean County Jail pending a detention hearing. The incident is part of a series of wildfires affecting New Jersey this week.
