A Huge Thank You to the Firefighters for Saving Our Ocean County, New Jersey Communities

*Huge THANK YOU to our brave men and women firefighters in New Jersey

The devastating fire, Jones Road Fire that consumed Southern Ocean County yesterday is a massive and the state's largest wildfire this season, according to the NJ Forest Fire Service.

The Fire is only 10% contained as firefighters have worked all night. We can't thank these amazing people enough. Lacey Police have announced this morning, additional evacuations are not expected. And most people that were evacuated from their homes in Ocean Township and Lacey Township, can go home.

There are challenging conditions with the ongoing drought, our firefighters continue to contain the blaze that's taking over acres and acres of New Jersey.

Firefighters from around the state of New Jersey have come to help with this massive fire.
