Please take note of fire restrictions as the risk of wildfires remains high today and through the weekend.⚠️ Elevated Risk for the Spread of Wildfires - Friday, Oct. 25

US National Weather Service Philadelphia/Mount Holly and US National Weather Service New York NY have issued a Special Weather Statement for the elevated risk for the spread of wildfires throughout New Jersey today.

❗️SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT:
There continues to be an increased risk of fire spread into today. Relative humidity are expected to drop into the 25 to 35 percent range across much of the area. These low relative humidity values are combined with west winds around 10 to 15 mph and temperatures in the low to mid 60s, and abundant sunshine. These conditions will support the spread of any fires that ignite, which could quickly become difficult to control.

Additionally, Stage 3 Fire Restrictions are in effect statewide.

STAGE 3 FIRE RESTRICTIONS
🚫🔥 All fires will be prohibited unless contained in an elevated stove using only propane, natural gas, gas, or electricity.
🚫🔥 No charcoal fires are allowed.
