The blaze got its name because of its proximity to a sculpture in the area.
Chopper 6 flew over "Big Rusty," the giant troll artwork, which appears to have been spared from the fire.

The fire, which broke out Monday night in the area of Bancroft Lane and Cove Court, burned 40 acres, according to officials.
At one point, it was burning close to several homes.
Chopper 6 flew overhead as New Jersey Forest Fire crews established a containment line directly behind those homes.
The containment line is a line of fire intentionally set to burn up any fuel between the wildfire and people's properties, experts explained.
