Gov. Phil Murphy said Monday evening that rain could help on Tuesday.
But 50 residents have been evacuated, and state Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Shawn LaTourette said it could end up the largest forest fire the state has seen in 15 years.
Two highways remain closed: Route 206 from Chew to Atsion roads and Route 542 from Green Bank to Columbia roads. Officials said 18 structures are “threatened.” Local volunteer fire departments from Atlantic, Burlington, and Ocean counties are helping protect them.17,000 acres of woods in southern Burlington and Ocean countiesForecasters say Monday’s weather conditions — still dry but less windy than Sunday — should help firefighters.
