Firefighters making good progress battling wildfire in New Jersey Pinelands

Associated Press  

BERKELEY TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Firefighters in southern New Jersey were making good progress Tuesday trying to contain a forest fire burning in Berkeley Township that has thus far not threatened any structures. As of mid-afternoon, the blaze on the northern edge of the New Jersey Pinelands had consumed about 189 acres or less than one square mile, according to Jeremy Webber, a supervising forest fire warden. The area, known as Fisher’s Pit, includes largely uninhabited stretches of scrub pines and sandy soil, although several residential neighborhoods and a school are nearby. ___ This story has been updated to correct that the fire broke out just before 5 p.m., not 8 p.m. ___ Follow Wayne Parry on X at www.twitter.com/WayneParryAC
