N.J. Forest Fire Mostly Contained; Firefighter Still Critical By Wayne Parry | March 17, 2021 LAKEWOOD, N.J. (AP) A forest fire near the Jersey Shore that shut down the Garden State Parkway, sent neighbors fleeing and led to a firefighter’s hospitalization in critical condition was “a very, very near catastrophe,” authorities said Monday. The fire that began Sunday afternoon in Lakewood and jumped the Parkway into Brick Township, eventually burned 167 acres, according to Greg McLaughlin, the state fire warden and chief of the New Jersey Forest Fire Service. By early afternoon Monday, the fire was 75% contained, and authorities expected that percentage to increase as the day wore on. Wet weather expected in the area by Thursday should help extinguish the fire, he said.
