New Jersey Forest Fire Service
An average of 1,500 wildfires damage or destroy 7,000 acres of New Jersey's forests.
Wildfires not only damage our woodlands, but are becoming an increasing threat to homeowners who live within, or adjacent to, forest environments and residents who utilize the state's great outdoors for various forms of recreation.
Since 1906 the New Jersey Forest Fire Service has been the agency responsible for protecting life, property, as well as the state's natural resources from wildfire.
