Half of New Jersey wildfire contained as other fires break out

The Jennings Creek Fire in New Jersey has burned nearly 4,300 acres. It's about half contained as firefighters have performed controlled burns, getting rid of dry vegetation that could otherwise fuel the blaze. Meanwhile, a record dry spell in the Northeast is fueling wildfires in more places. On Wednesday, a brush fire broke out on the northern tip of Manhattan in a wooded park.
