Sad news from the NJ Forest Fire Service, Division B

It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of District Firewarden Rodney Haines.

He was a lifelong member and District Firewarden of the New Jersey Forest Fire Service who comes from a family tradition of Firewardens. Rodney was the operator of B3 while his father Richard Haines was the Section Firewarden in B3. He was also assigned B23 for several years.

Rodney is the uncle of Section Firewarden Timothy Haines, brother of District Firewarden Michael Haines, son of retired Section Firewarden Richard Haines and a friend to us all.

Services will be held at the Tabernacle United Methodist Church 166 Carranza Rd. Tabernacle, NJ on Saturday 11/29. Please meet at the Tabernacle Township Hall Parking Lot across the street at 9:15 am to assemble for the 09:30 am walk through. The uniform will be Class A Long Sleeve with mourning badge or appropriate dress for those without a uniform.

Rodney’s Obituary can be found here: https://www.lechnerfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Rodney-R-Haines?obId=46491554

Please keep the Haines Family in your thoughts and prayers.

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.
