Roads are starting to reopen as New Jersey firefighters begin their third day of containing a 13,250-acre wildfire just miles from the Jersey Shore, according to a post the state’s forest fire service posted to X Thursday morning. Wells Mill Road in Watertown, Ocean County, had reopened just before 5 a.m. as the fire remains only 50% contained. Twelve unspecified structures are threatened, the forest fire service said, but none have needed to be evacuated. No injuries have been reported.
