Firefighters in New Jersey are battling another wildfire that sparked Tuesday as the state continue to navigate through a dangerous dry stretch.
The New Jersey Forrest Fire Service said a blaze that broke around East Commodore Boulevard and Cedar Swamp Road in Jackson Township late Tuesday afternoon.
At last check, officials said the fire had consumed about 50 acres of forest and was completely uncontained. Over two dozen structures are being threatened by the flames, officials said. "It's probably going to grow to just under 100 acres when it's all done," Section Fire Warned Deale Carey told reporters. "The guys will be out there working throughout the night tonight to get it contained and burnout and if everything goes well it should be pretty good by morning."
The fire comes just days after a massive forest fire torched thousands of acres of woods in Burlington County, which prompted some evacuations and threatened nearby properties. New Jersey has endured a dangerous dry spell recently that fire officials say has helped provided ‘fuel’ for wildfires to run rampant.
