This photo was published by NJ.com on 4/22/25 with this headline: “Massive NJ wildfire rages out of control. 3,000 residents evacuated.”
This impressive fire was reported yesterday 4/22/25, but today, 4/23/25, the GSP is open again, and control of the fire is reported to be occurring. Yesterday Grovers were concerned because the fire was in southern Ocean County, but we didn’t even smell any smoke here—a tribute to New Jersey forest fire fighters. The blaze originated in the Pinelands.
