A forest fire was extinguished after burning in New Jersey over the weekend.
The fire was first spotted Sunday at 10 a.m. near the Cedar Bridge Fire Tower at the Greenwood Forest Wildlife Management Area in Manchester Township. Officials say the fire is burning in the pine and scrub oak forest and is being pushed by west and northwest winds.
The fire was 80 percent contained as of late Sunday -- within its expected target containment area of 570 acres, officials said. By Monday morning, the fire was out.
No structures were threatened by the fire, no property was damaged and there were no evacuations.
The Greenwood Forest site spans about 29,000 acres, mostly in Ocean County.
