Since I last reported on the Jones Road Fire (Greenwood Lakes Wildlife Management Area in Ocean County) on April 23rd the acreage burned has grown to 15,000 acres and remains at 50 percent containment. All evacuation orders were lifted the morning of April 23rd. There are currently eight threatened structures down from twenty. No residences have been destroyed but one commercial building and some out buidlings were destroyed. Only unimproved roads with the fire perimeter are closed, all other roads are now open. A Waretown man has been charged with aggravated arson and arson in connections with the Jones Road Fire. A damage assessment is being conducted. The NJFFS remains on the scene with engines, bulldozers, helicopters and groundcrews.
