New Jersey Forest Fire Service

As of late Wednesday morning the massive brush fire in Manchester Township is 50-percent contained after burning through 3,859 acres of land to this point.

The restrictions are applicable for now only to the state Forest Fire Service's Division "A," covering roughly the northern half of New Jersey.

The fire that singed through 170 acres of land between Lakewood and Brick was intentionally set, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said.

Tropical Storm Fay helped the New Jersey Forest Fire Service put out a 200+ acre blaze in NJ's Pine Barrens.

The fireworks going off nightly aren't the same ones legalized by the state in 2017.

If you've smelled smoke and even seen ash falling from the sky in Ocean County recently, it's all part of the efforts to prevent uncontrolled wildfires.

The New Jersey Forest Fire Service is performing a number of prescribed burns in Ocean County today, leading to smoke in a number of places.

With parts of New Jersey at high risk for forest fires, Ocean County has been placed into the moderate risk category by the NJ Forest Fire Service.

The late March wildfire that consumed more than 11,000 acres of land in the Pinelands was one of just 331 forest fires handled by crews so far in 2019.
