The NJ Forest Fire Service was called to the Warren Grove Air to Ground Range in Ocean County at approximately 2:45 p.m., they said in a post to Facebook.

The Little Egg Harbor Police Department this morning warned of "activity" at the 9,400-acre range in Ocean County.

Some were speculating that loud booms heard and felt across New York and New Jersey were a result of something at the range. Nothing official had been confirmed as of 3:45 p.m.
