2024 NJFFS Prescribed Burns: February 21 update


Recent snowfall in northern and central New Jersey probably means that conditions (wet soil?) are not conducive for the New Jersey Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) to conduct prescribed burns in these areas. This is not the case in southern New Jersey where you can see from the embedded Facebook post from the NJFFS on February 21st that they conducted prescribed burns on that date in the following locations: 

  • Burlington County - Delanco Twp. - County Property
  • Burlington County - Eastampton Twp. - County Property
  • Burlington County - Washington Twp. - Wharton State Forest 
  • Cumberland County - Maurice River Twp. - Peaslee Wildlife Management Area
  • Cumberland County - Pittsgrove Twp. - Municipal Property
  • Cumberland County - Vineland - Municipal Property 

In addition the NJFFS did prescribed burns in these locations in the last five days:

  • February 16th: Wharton State Forest in Winslow Twp, Camden County
  • February 20th: private property in Barnegat Twp, Ocean County
