The blaze, dubbed the Jones Road Wildfire, began around 9:45 a.m. Tuesday and was 50% contained as of Wednesday afternoon.
The New Jersey Forest Fire Service released a map showing the containment area around the blaze:
It began in the Greenwood Forest Wildlife Management area in Barnegat Township and has since spread to both Ocean and Lacey townships.
Officials said Thursday morning that Route 532, which had been shut down due to the fire, has now reopened.
However, several other roads remain closed in the area.
-Bryant Road is closed between Wells Mills Road (Rt. 532) and Rt. 539
-Jones Road is closed between Rt. 532 and Bryant Road
Parts of the Garden State Parkway and Route 9 were closed Tuesday because of the smoke billowing across the area. Both highways have since reopened.
Officials said Wednesday that approximately 1,320 structures were threatened but said no residential structures have been lost. However, one commercial building, as well as multiple outbuildings and vehicles have been destroyed by the fire.
This could end up being the largest wildfire in New Jersey in 20 years, the Forest Fire Service said.
No injuries have been reported. The cause of the fire is not yet known.
