Daily News | Pinelands wildfire tears through thousands of acres, shuts roads, forces evacuations
A wildfire that broke out last night in Ocean County near Lakehurst has grown to several thousand acres, threatening buildings and shutting down roads.
Flames came as if almost on cue with the start of wildfire season that runs mid-March through May when the weather warms, humidity decreases and winds pick up. The flames raced through federal, state and private property in the area as the fire grew to 2,500 acres as of overnight.The fire was about 20% contained as of early this morning. Officials plan an update on the fire later this morning.
Route 539 was closed from Route 70 to Long Swamp Road, and Route 70 was closed from Lakehurst Circle to Beckerville West Road. Other local roads were also closed as local fire departments pitched in to help.
