FOX 29's Steve Keeley has the latest details on the wildfire that's been raging in Little Egg Harbor Township, NJ.
LITTLE EGG HARBOR, N.J. - A wildfire has reportedly torched several hundred acres of forest Sunday night in Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey.
The New Jersey Forest Service said in a Facebook post that the fire ignited in Bass River State Forest just east of the Garden State Parkway.
Officials advised people to avoid the area as crews battled back the flames.
The New Jersey Forest Fire Service says the blaze was burning Monday inside a large area in Burlington and Ocean counties that has limited accessibility.
Dozens of firefighters are battling the blaze, and crews are setting smaller, controlled fires in some areas to help stop the blaze from spreading. The fire has not damaged any structures, though authorities say roughly 100 homes could be at risk.
No injuries have been reported by firefighters. The fire has not yet been contained.
