Knowing how important prescribed burns can be as one way to prevent wildland fires (see this March 4, 2021 news release from the NJ Department of Environmental Protection on Prescribed Burns), I try to keep an eye out for videos and other information from State and Federal Fire Agencies and their partners on prescribed burns. To that end, here is a video uploaded by the NJFFS Section B10 highlighting a prescribed burn at the Joint Base McGuire Ft Dix Lakehurst in Burlington County, New Jersey. The Joint Base is located in the New Jersey Pinelands (aka NJ Pine Barrens). When I drive to the Pinelands, I drive past the Joint Base. In the video you will hear Mark Stevenson, a Natural Resources Biological Scientist with the 787 Civil Engineering Squadron talk about a prescribed burn that was done at the Joint Base. I enjoyed the video and learned more about prescribed burns, I hope you do as well. Allow a little about four minutes for the video.
