A wildfire in West Milford has burned 120 acres of land.

The New Jersey Forest Fire Service is on the ground working to put down the flames and, so far, has the fire 30% contained.

In all, 35 firefighters are working on containment lines within the rocky terrain of the Newark Watershed.

Those firefighters have been getting help from favorable winds, as well as a helicopter that has been dropping 325 gallons of water at a time from its bucket.

The Huey helicopter has been taking water from the Clinton Reservoir, which is showing very low water levels.

West Milford hasn’t seen any rain since Aug. 22 when a storm dropped 1.2 inches.

Since then, that part of Passaic County has been experiencing severely dry conditions, which has dried the forest floor and fueled the fire.

“The leaf litter and debris on the ground is from last year’s leaf drop, so those fuels have been sitting there all winter and all summer,” said Tyler Niedergall, with the New Jersey Forest Fire Service.

So far, the fire is not threatening any homes or businesses.

The fire started in an area generally only accessed by hikers or hunters.
