I did know about the March 21st Red Flag Warning issued by the National Weather Service in Mt. Holly NJ for central and southern New Jersey. Time got away from me yesterday and I would normally post about a Red Flag Warning on the day of the warning. I did check some local media as well as the NJ Forest Fire Service Facebook account to see if there were any major wildfires yesterday. I did not see any information about major wildfires yesterday, all this means is that I am not aware of any major wildfires in New Jersey on March 21st, I would suspect that there were smaller brush and wildfires. A link to the text that I posted below may be found here.
