Firefighters are continuing to battle a wildfire burning in Passaic County.

It's the first significant blaze in the state in several weeks.

According to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service, the Buckebeare wildfire broke out in the area of Clinton Road in West Milford Tuesday evening.

As of this afternoon, it spread to 120 acres with crews on the scene able to get it 30% contained.

No buildings are threatened and no one has been forced to evacuate.

Fire crews constructed containment lines and they're continuing back burning throughout today, which local officials warn will cause more smoky conditions for people in and around the area.

A handful of local roads are also affected with closures until further notice.

West Milford Mayor Michelle Dale is warning residents to stay clear of active burn areas and follow road signs or directions from police.

State officials say the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
