VIDEO/PHOTOS: A wildfire that burned several hundred acres of the Wharton State Forest in southern New Jersey is now 100% contained, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service announced Thursday.
The County Line Fire started sometime Tuesday night in Waterford Township in Camden County and spread into Shamong Township, Burlington County.
The fire grew to 510 acres in size before crews were able to get it 100% contained. Jackson Road has been reopened in the area from Tremont Avenue to Atsion Road but the Goshen Campground were evacuated as a precaution.
As firefighters put water on the flames, they also used backfiring operations, which means they set controlled fires to burn up fuel to keep the wildfire from spreading.
