The fire is also affecting New Jersey Transit service - Raritan Valley Rail Line service is suspended between Bridgewater and Dunellen in both directions. Substitute bus service is being provided.
The New Jersey Forestry Service is also responding to the fire along with numerous fire departments.
There is no word yet on the cause, but the wind is making the fire harder to contain. No construction work took place on Sunday.
