Berkeley Township, NJ – Firefighters are working to contain the Fishers Pit Wildfire in Ocean County, burning across 150 acres. The wildfire, first reported Sunday afternoon, has grown but is now 20% contained. No structures are currently threatened.
According to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service, fire crews have reinforced containment lines overnight using backfire and burnout techniques. These methods have helped slow the fire’s spread, with crews focusing on unburned areas within the perimeter.
Smoke settled overnight along Northern Blvd and Hickory Lane, but its impact has decreased by this morning. Residents should remain cautious, as further smoke is possible as containment efforts continue.
