New Jersey Forest Fire Service in 84th year of prescribed burns

I know that the New Jersey Forest Fire Service is continuing to do prescribed burns. The New Jersey Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) is in their 84th year of doing these prescribed burns. Many of you who follow my blog also follow Bill Gabbert's Wildfire Today. On March 25th, he wrote a very nice article where he shared an article written by Michael Achey and Marie Cook of the NJFFS on their prescribed burn program, Bill's article may be found here. I hope that you take a few moments to read this great article. I was especially interested in a table breaking down 2019 prescribed burning statistics by Division and by grass, forest and marsh (by ownership) through March 21, 2019. For example Statewide totals (acres burned):

state grass              3,336
state forest             8,645
state marsh                 22
private grass               74
private forest          2,915
other grass                  64
other forest             2,917
totals                    17,963 

Note: other refers to government owned landed not owned by State of New Jersey

Thanks to Michael Achey and Marie Cook for a great article and thanks to Bill Gabbert of Wildfire Today for sharing their article.
