Today's weather has been unsettled with showers and thunderstorms as well as being in the 70s. So I don't think there were any prescribed burns today (March 1st) in New Jersey. There is a wind advisory out for tomorrow covering northern New Jersey and adjoining areas in New York and Pennsylvania. The New Jersey Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) did conduct prescribed burns yesterday (February 28th):
Burlington County:
Pemberton Township, Brendon T Byrne State Forest
Ocean County:
Berkeley Township, Double Trouble State Park
Speaking of prescribed burns, watch Jeff Foxworthy explain the benefits of prescribed or controlled burns done, in a three year rotation, on his property.
I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
