2023 New Jersey Wildfire Season: Spring Wildfire Season Continues

Direct link to video from CBS2 New York

Spring wildfire season in New Jersey is ongoing and may last until mid-May. Crews from the New Jersey Forest Fire Service with the assistance of local firefighters through mutual aid agreements had a busy time the last several days with three major wildfires that I have written about earlier as well as an unknown number of smaller wildland fires and brush fires. This spring's wildfire season in New Jersey got started earlier and is busier. The danger continues so please do not let your guard down. Obey all restrictions, go here for the latest  fire danger and restrictions from the New Jersey Forest Fire Service, and go to this NJFFS webpage for suggestions on how to keep your home safe from wildfires. Please fully extinguish cigarette butts and the equivalent, dispose of them safely.
