More than 3,800 acres have burned in the fire in southern New Jersey.
Officials said there are still 20 structures threatened by the blaze, but all evacuations had been lifted.
About 170 structures in the Manchester Township area were evacuated Tuesday night, but all residents have since been allowed to return home, Manchester Police Chief Robert Dolan said during a news conference Wednesday. "We saw a wall of fire, 200-foot flames, raining fire embers. I don't mean to be dramatic, but this was a severe situation that these guys and gals managed to keep in place and protect lives and property. And for that, we cannot thank them enough," Cecil said.
"So as long as the weather conditions with low humidity and dusty winds, today winds are dusting up 23 miles per hour... if a fire starts, it's potential to spread quickly."Summerlike temperatures are expected to last through Friday, with more than 25 potential high records falling.
