Firefighters were operating under high risk that flames would spread Sunday as they took on a wildfire on the New York-New Jersey border that broke a containment line and prompted more than 160 homes to be evacuated the previous night. The voluntary evacuation allowed fire personnel to confront the Jennings Creek Wildfire uninterrupted overnight and will remain in place until Monday as those efforts continue, Jesse Dwyer, a supervisor in Warwick, New York, said. “Efforts overnight by both local and regional firefighters to protect structures were successful and no structures are presently in danger,’’ Dwyer said. Residents had been allowed to return home. In an early-evening announcement, Warwick officials said the Orange County state of emergency was extended. They also asked those in the evacuation area to shelter in place so firefighters could continue doing their jobs. Officials have said the blaze, which began Nov. 8 and has burned more than 5,000 acres across both states, is about 90% contained. But the jump over the containment line required an emergency response that involved asking hundreds of Warwick residents to voluntarily leave their homes and opening a shelter at a local middle school. “We got home, packed up just like the essentials, everything that we had in the safe, like important papers, and then we came here,’’ Viktoria Kall told CBS News, adding she arrived at the school around midnight. Crews have been dousing the flames with water dropped from New York Air National Guard helicopters and have the blaze "boxed in by fire lines," the New York State Park Police said on social media. It previously said the fire had expanded by just four or five acres. All of New Jersey and southeast New York state have endured the worst parts of an ongoing drought that stretches from Virginia to Massachusetts, exacerbating fire danger. Last week, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul banned outdoor burning across the state through the rest of November because of the dry conditions.
