A New Jersey forest fire has spread to at least 12,000 acres — and is threatening to be the Garden State’s biggest wildfire in 15 years, according to officials. The fire was discovered early Sunday afternoon in a remote section of Wharton State Forest, according to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service. By Monday night, it had spread to 12,000 acres (19 square miles) and was threatening “18 structures” as well as causing road closures in Washington, Shamong, Hammonton and Mullica townships, the service said. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but officials “have ruled out likely natural causes,” Environmental Protection Commissioner Shawn Latourette said
