NJ Forest Fire Service sends crews to the State of Georgia

The New Jersey Forest Fire Service has deployed three Type 4 engines, one pickup truck and nine wildland firefighters to Georgia to assist with wildfire suppression as the state experiences elevated wildfire activity.

For over 40 years, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service has offered aid to many states – including Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wyoming. These out-of-state assignments have no impact on the ability of the Forest Fire Service to fight wildfires in New Jersey.

CURRENT NJ WILDFIRE ACTIVITY

There is no current sizable activity

Please remember, “No Drones in Fire Zones - If YOU fly, WE can't!”

If in doubt about the source of smoke or fire, call 9-1-1 or 877-WARN-DEP (877-927-6337)

Remember, No Drones in Fire Zones -
If YOU fly, WE can't!

There are serious consequences to flying an unauthorized drone near a wildfire.
During a wildfire, our aircraft fly low to the ground, often at the same altitude that a drone would fly. If a drone is detected flying over or near a wildfire, all Forest Fire Service air support will be grounded - hampering suppression and observation efforts.
Please do your part, and prevent interfering with wildfire suppression by
staying grounded.
