West Milford NJ, as of 10 a.m. on Friday, November 15, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service has achieved 90% containment of the Jennings Creek Wildfire, which has been burning across Passaic County, NJ, and Orange County, NY. The wildfire has impacted 2,283 acres in New Jersey, but thanks to the diligent efforts of firefighting crews, significant progress has been made in controlling its spread.
Structures and Safety Measures
While 10 structures were threatened by the fire in New Jersey—including the historic Long Pond Ironworks Historic District—no evacuations were necessary. Crews worked tirelessly to safeguard these structures and ensure public safety throughout the incident.
Ongoing Efforts
Firefighting crews will remain on-site in the coming days to strengthen containment lines and address any lingering hotspots. Smoke will likely persist in the area until substantial rainfall occurs, so residents should remain cautious and aware of air quality conditions.
The New Jersey Forest Fire Service and the New York Department of Environmental Conservation are operating under a unified command to manage this wildfire and minimize its impact.
