Wildfire in Lakewood, New Jersey now 50% contained, NJFFS says

Firefighters in New Jersey are making progress battling a wildfire that broke out in Lakewood, Ocean County Monday night.
The New Jersey Forest Fire Service said as of Tuesday morning the Country Club Wildfire, which is burning near Pine Park and the Lakewood County Club, has affected 35 acres but is 50% contained.
No buildings were evacuated or threatened, though the NJFFS said Clearstream Road remains closed between Brewers Bridge and Hope Chapel Road.
The NJFFS deployed fire engines, bulldozers and ground crews to attack the fire as well as a helicopter to observe from the air.
The cause of the Country Club Wildfire is under investigation by the NJFFS.
There have been multiple wildfires in New Jersey and Pennsylvania since the beginning of the month. Dry air, fire weather risks and pervasive drought have led to burn bans across the Philadelphia region. The goal of these bans is to prevent wildfires and brush fires, which are almost entirely human-caused.
