2024 New Jersey Wildfire Season: Stage 3 Campfire Restrictions in effect

This morning the New Jersey Forest Fire Service implemented stage 3 campfire restrictions, see the Facebook post from the NJ Forest Fire Service that I embedded below. But first I want to share an image from the NJ Forest Fire Service with today's restrictions and fire danger. I wanted to point out that in addition to the Stage 3 campfire restrictions, the highest level of restrictions, there is no agricultural burning allowed today. In addition, you can see that today's fire danger is very high. I would think that the very high fire danger and the restrictions will continue until there is some rainfall. Today is the 21st day that I have not seen any rain except for .03 inches in the second week of October, I know because I have a rain gage and record rain measurements.
