The fire began near Atsion Lake and forced the closure of a stretch of Route 206 in both directions at Chew Road in Hammonton Sunday evening.

Turns out, controlled burns aren't being initiated as often or over as much land as they should be, according to the Pinelands Preservation Alliance.

Crews are battling a massive forest fire in Burlington County.
