A massive wildfire in New Jersey consumed thousands of acres of forest and forced dozens of people to leave their homes as firefighters work to extinguish the flames.
The New Jersey Forest Fire Service said the Bass River State Forest wildfire is 50% contained and has scorched 5,000 aces.
In the 24-hours since the fire started, dozens of firefighters from nearby departments in Ocean and Burlington counties have responded and used ‘backfiring’ operations to try to contain the flames.
