2021 wildfire season: prescribed burning in New Jersey (March 22nd)

When I went to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) Facebook page this morning, I noted that there was prescribed burning in southern New Jersey on March 20th and 21st. Today (March 22nd) the  NJFFS is conducted prescribed burns in southern New Jersey (Division C) and northern New Jersey (Division A). As always these schedules are weather dependent. I do believe that these prescribed burns are happening beyond the normal prescribed burning season that ended on March 15th, but I have no specific information. As you can see, I rely on the NJFFS Facebook page for my information.
