New Jersey Forest Fire Service Began Prescribed Burns This Week

I get alerts from the NJ Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) including alerts for Prescribed Burns, you may read about the NJFFS prescribed burns here. To summarize, the NJFFS has been conducting prescribed burns since 1928 to protect those living near wildlands as well as removing hazardous fuels and the like.

I am on the otherside of the State from Ocean County, bordering PA in central New Jersey. In past prescribed burning seasons the NJFFS has conducted prescribed burns in my general area and I am glad to know when they are planning prescribed burns in my area.

They have been conducting prescribed burns in Ocean County since Monday October 26th. I follow the NJFFS almost every day during wildfire season so I can know what is going on. If you live in New Jersey and want a heads up to when prescribed burns are being conducting in your area check out the prescribed fires section of the NJFFS website to see what they are doing.
