A large brush fire in Lakewood, New Jersey, that began Sunday afternoon has so far burned over 160 acres of land and damaged at least 29 homes, officials said.
The fire, which was reported at 1:30 p.m., began in Lakewood Township and spread to Garden State Parkway due to windy conditions, New Jersey Forest Fire Service spokesperson Maris Gabliks said in a press conference Sunday. The blaze is currently 50% contained and still threatens several residential, commercial and business structures, Gabliks told reporters.More Related News
