NJFFS Division B regrets to announce the passing of longtime District Forest Firewarden Richard C. “Dick” Wallace
Richard served with the New Jersey Forest Fire Service from 1963 to 2011, operating B36 for Section B8. He was a career firefighter with the Lakewood Fire Department from 1964 to 1994 and served as Chief of Department from 1988 to 1990.
Viewing and Service will be held at the George S. Hassler Funeral Home, 980 Bennetts Mill Road, Jackson, NJ 08527, on Sunday, July 12, 2026, from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm with a Fireman’s Service at 5:00 pm.

A repast will follow the burial at Engine Company No. 1, 119 First Street, Lakewood, NJ.
On Independence Day, as the nation celebrates its 250th anniversary, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service is also marking its 120th anniversary.
The New Jersey Forest Fire Service was established on July 4, 1906, through an act of the state Legislature signed into law by Governor Edward C. Stokes.
Theophilus Price of Tuckerton was appointed as the state's first forest firewarden, and a township firewarden system was established with 64 firewardens appointed during its first year.
Today, 120 years later, the Forest Fire Service continues its mission to protect lives, property and New Jersey's natural resources

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.
