South Stump Tavern Road, which contains mostly spaced out single-family homes, is closed. Fire trucks and bulldozers have been deployed to the area, the state Forest Fire Service said. Evacuated residents who need a place to stay can go the township’s senior center on Don Connor Boulevard, Jackson police said.

An uncontrolled wildfire burning in a New Jersey forest has scorched over 150 acres and forced six homes to evacuate, authorities say.
