The New Jersey Forest Fire Service battled the latest outbreak in Pompton Lakes, Passaic County, which as of midday Saturday had burned 100 acres and threatened 55 structures, the agency posted on social media.

No part of the fire was contained and efforts to halt its spread by state and local crews were hampered by strong, gusty winds.
