BARNEGAT, N.J. — A fast-moving forest fire broke out Tuesday at a major military gunnery range in southern New Jersey, but no injuries or property damage has been reported.
The New Jersey Forest Fire Service responded around 2:15 p.m. to the Warren Grove Air to Ground Range in Ocean County, where weapons testing had been scheduled for late Tuesday morning. It wasn’t immediately clear if the testing had taken place and, if it did, played a role in the fire.
The blaze had burned roughly 150 acres (61 hectares) by late Tuesday afternoon, and the fire service said crews were burning brush ahead of the blaze to prevent its spread. No further details were available.
The range covers 9,400 acres (3,804 hectares) and 60 miles (97 kilometers) of airspace, according to the New Jersey National Guard. It’s used for a variety of military exercises, including weapons delivery practice for helicopters and other aircraft teams, laser training, and gunnery and munitions drills.
The range, which is secluded from roads by dense forests, is about 34 miles (55 kilometers) south of Joint Base Maguire-Dix, one of the largest military facilities irn New Jersey. It also was the scene of a 2007 fire that burned 17,000 acres (6,880 hectares) and led to the evacuation of thousands of residents. That fire, which was touched off when a pilot dropped a flare into the range during a training exercise, destroyed four homes and damaged about 50 others.

Andy Cohen seems to be considering a “rebrand” for The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Cohen hinted at potential new faces on RHONJ after a fan advised that it was time to bring in some “fresh” things during Monday’s episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live.
“It is not time for a rebrand?” a caller urged, to which the Bravo head honcho immediately replied, “Yes.”
“I think it’s time to do what happened in New York, bring fresh faces in,” the caller added, alluding the cast switch-up for Season 14 of The Real Housewives of New York City.
The fan also gushed about Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda who joined the RHONJ cast in Season 13.
“I love that they’re fresh and young,” the caller said. “They’re funny and … I love that there is positive energy.”
The fan shared his feedback that there has been too much “negativity” from the other cast members, and suggested that Cohen, “set them free. Let them move on to the new.”
“I agree,” Cohen, 56, replied. “We’re gonna figure something out. We are all on the same page about that.”
