The New Jersey Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) continues with prescribed burns. After doing prescribed burns on February 27th, we were in a rainy pattern through March 4th. I for one welcomed the rain, however the rainy period meant that, as far as I know, prescribed burns were not scheduled. Prescribed burning resumed on Sunday, March 5th with prescribed burns in Cumberland and Gloucester County (Southern NJ) and the following counties in central NJ (Monmouth and Ocean).
I believe that under normal circumstances the prescribed burning season in New Jersey is through March 15th. However, sometimes the NJFFS the may extend the prescribed burning season into late March if rain or snow or other weather led to delays in doing scheduled prescribed burns as long as fire weather is not too bad.
Prescribed burns are scheduled for today, March 6th.
