New Jersey Forest Fire Service has issued a stage 3 burn restriction. The following open burns are prohibited:
-All outside fires will be prohibited unless contained in an elevated stove using only propane, natural gas, gas, or electricity. This does not include a household chimney or fireplace, which is located within the structure.
-No charcoal fires are allowed.
-Agricultural burns
To prevent accidental ignition during this time, please properly dispose of smoking material and fire place ashes. It is also best practice to remove any dry vegetation such as leaves from around your structure.
