Bayville, New Jersey.Road closures and the mobilization of firefighting resources were necessary in response to a multi-acre wildfire that started in Bayville, Ocean County, on Saturday and is now burning unchecked.
The fire, which is close to Ocean Gate Drive and Louis Avenue, is still 0% contained, according to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service, and it will likely spread to 10 acres before it is completely contained. Although no evacuations have been required, the fire poses a threat to three nearby structures.
Heavy smoke forced the closure of Ocean Gate Drive.
The cause of the fire is still being looked into. Because drones can disrupt firefighting efforts, authorities have reminded people not to fly them close to the fire zone.
