The wildfire has set over thousands of acres ablaze, but firefighters announced that some residents were able to return to their homes.

The next chance of rain will come this weekend as New Jersey firefighters continue to battle a growing wildfire.

While no injuries have been reported in connection with the wildfire, the blaze has closed the nearby Wells Mills Park. Several roads remain impacted by road closures in the area, including Bryant Road and Jones Road. The blaze started early this week and seemed to catch locals off guard
