Big flames, raining embers in New Jersey pine barrens fire

A massive 3,800-acre forest fire in Ocean County, New Jersey is about half contained as officials continue to battle flames. Authorities said Wednesday the fire started Tuesday and led to the evacuation of dozens of homes, though no one was injured and people have been let back into their residences. Officials say the blaze was intense, raining down embers and producing flames 200 feet high at times. The cause of the fire is under investigation, but the low humidity, high winds and dry fuel on the forest floor contributed to the blaze, they added.
