I know that the New Jersey Forest Fire Service will be on patrol today and all NJFFS towers will be staffed. I am sure that other State Fire Fighting agencies will also be on patrol today. Stay safe everyone.
I will do my best to try to monitor the situation in New Jersey and will report back about any significant wildfire activity.
In the image below, the pink/red color are red flag warnings.
