Firefighters have made enough progress on a massive wildfire burning in Ocean County for officials to fully reopen both the Garden State Parkway and Route 9 on Wednesday morning. About 25,000 homes and businesses remain without power early Wednesday, Jersey Central Power & Light said.

A wildfire in the Greenwood Forest Wildlife Management Area near Barnegat Township, New Jersey, has burned 8,500 acres and is only 10% contained. The Jones Road Wildfire, which erupted Tuesday, prompted the evacuation of thousands of residents and forced the closure of a major stretch of highway as thick smoke drifted across the Jersey Shore.

Normal traffic patterns are resuming on Wednesday, but officials in the towns affected by the Jones Road wildfire urge drivers to use caution.
