New Jersey Forest Fire Service Course- Wildland Urban Interface Firefighting & Structural Triage:
The targeted audience for this course is fire officers and senior firefighters that plan to deploy to wildland urban interface wildfires on task forces and strike teams. The course was developed in collaboration with Fire Adapted Communities, Monmouth County Fire Marshal’s Office, and the New Jersey Forest Fire Service. The long-standing wildland urban interface class that the NJFFS have taught over the years was revised in 2019 and revisited after the Jones Road Wildfire in 2025 and is being rolled out statewide to meet demand and unify efforts.
The objectives of the course are to prepare fire officers to safely lead a crew at the next wildland urban interface incident; remind everyone that the goal is to ensure that everyone goes home safely and unify the efforts of fire departments statewide in the protection of structures.
A standardized structure triage worksheet has been updated and will be reviewed during the course as they can be used for incident response and pre-planning in your community.

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.
