It remains unclear what caused the crash, though weather isn't believed to be a factor.
A wildfire that was likely sparked by a small plane crash in Ocean County, N.J. Saturday night nearly tripled in size but was mostly contained by Monday afternoon.
The blaze, first reported near the Ocean County Airport Saturday evening after the crash, swelled 831 acres and still threatened 25 nearby structures Monday, according to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service. Officials said Monday they had about 70% of the wildfire contained. There have been no evacuation orders, but the fire has forced the closure of Robert J. Miller Airpark and two nearby roads:Mule Road from Lacey Road to Pinewald Keswick RoadCrews have made “substantial progress” containing the fire, the service said Monday. “Structure protection is being provided by local volunteer fire companies. We thank them for their assistance.
