On July 3rd I wrote that the New Jersey Forest Fire Service sent two engines with five crew to southern California. I am not quite certain if the two engines are still in southern California. On or about July 24th the New Jersey Forest Fire Service deployed a 20-person type 2 initial attack hand crew to New Mexico. All crew members from the July 3rd and later deployments to southern California and the 20-person hand crew just deployed to New Mexico honor New Jersey with your service. You are taking time away from your families and life in New Jersey to help fight wildfires. Stay safe.
