3:36Now PlayingSwirling winds and dry conditions caused a large brush fire in Lakewood, New Jersey spread to more than 160 acres and damage at least two businesses on Sunday, according to state officials.
The New Jersey Forest Fire Service responded to reports of an "active wildfire" on Airport Road and Cedar Bridge Avenue around 3:30 p.m. The agency advised motorists to avoid the area as workers assessed the situation.
The origin has been identified and the cause is under investigation, the state forest fire service said, but officials did not elaborate. The agency said a prescribed burn was not responsible.
Firefighters from neighboring communities were called to the scene and a helicopter was seen dumping water on the burning brush, which was fueled by strong wind gusts.
