After three days, the wildfire in Rockaway, New Jersey is now 85% contained

The Microwave Wildfire is now 85% contained and has affected 77 acres after three days, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service posted on social media Monday evening. This is an improvement from Sunday evening's 70 percent containment.

There are now only three structures under threat, down from the 13 that were threatened at the time of Sunday's update.

Jacobs Road in Rockaway remains closed, the agency said. No evacuations were ordered.

The fire remains under investigation.

The lack of rainfall has made New Jersey vulnerable to wildfires. The current fire danger in the state remains “very high,” according to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service website.
