NJ officials give update on Jones Road wildfire
Thousands of New Jersey residents who were forced to flee the fast-moving flames of a wildfire Tuesday have been given the all-clear to return home. However, officials are urging people to remain vigilant as thick smoke continues to choke communities close to the Jersey Shore. The Jones Road Wildfire sparked in the Greenwood Forest Wildlife Management Area near Barnegat Township in Ocean County and quickly exploded in size, nearly tripling its acreage in a short period of time.
