Operations


The New Jersey Forest Fire Service protects more then 3.2 million acres of public and private wildlands through out New Jersey. The New Jersey Forest Fire Service is in the Division of Parks and Forestry, in the Department of Environmental Protection. Approximately 89 full time firefighters (Forest Fire Wardens), Forest Fire Observers, Fleet Repair Personnel, Office Staff, and other support are employed by the agency. In addition, 1200 part-time/paid per-calls fire fighters are available.


            The State is divided into three geographical Divisions. Each Division is divided into Sections of about 100,000 acres. Each section is administered by a full time Section Forest Fire Warden equipped with an off road wildland engine. Each Section is then divided into districts, which are about 15,000 acres. Each district has a part-time District Forest Fire Warden. Some District Wardens are assigned a fire apparatus, other do not operate apparatus. Each District has at lest one Deputy Forest Fire Warden to assist the district wardens. The Fire Apparatus that are assigned out in the field are usually kept at the wardens residences, others are kept at state facilities like parks, and others are kept in municipal fire stations.

  Due to retirements, six forest fire lookout towers do not have full time observers, six sections do not have a section warden. In these areas the sections are being covered by other section wardens. Each division office as well as the state HQ has vacant Ast. or Division Wardens positions. Division A and Division C shops each have vacant mechanics positions.


  In addition to the state Forest Fire Service, several other state agencies and municipal fire companies/departments have cooperator units. These trucks are usually 4x4 or 6x6 military, or other federal agency vehicles, that were obtained from the Federal Excess Property Program, in which the Federal Government owns the vehicles, and are “on Loan” to either the state or the municipal fire departments. All co-op units come under control of the NJ Forest Fire Service. Currently over 20 such units are in service through out NJ, including 3 state parks, and 1 State Wildlife Management Area. In addition the Forest Fire Service operates over 100 federal excess vehicles and machines are in front line service.


            Dispatch is done by the nearest Forest Fire Lookout Tower, the Division Headquarters, then Trenton DEP Dispatch, and or various County Communication Centers. Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Burlington, Hunterdon, Gloucester, Mercer, Monmouth, Ocean, Somerset, and Warren Counties all have county wide fire communications centers.

 The lookout towers each have an alidade, which is a compass like plotting table which will give a degree reading, for plotting on a map when the observer notices smoke from a fire. The fire location is known by triangulation with the help of readings from other lookout towers. The lookout towers then dispatch local forest fire units to the fire. Towers are on duty when ever the woods are dry enough to burn, especially in the March-May, and October – November fire seasons. Towers are on duty 9-5 in the winter months, and 6-10 in the spring and summer. Today 21 towers are in-service through out New Jersey. After hours a Division Duty Officer, DEP. Dispatch, county communications, or local dispatcher will contact forest fire wardens by phone, or radio for responses.


            Depending on the time of day, season of the year, the location, current weather conditions, or fire behavior, will result in which and how many resources will be dispatch to a wildfire. If the observer in the lookout towers observes dangerous fire behavior, additional units may be dispatched immediately. In the spring fire season it would not be uncommon to dispatch several off road wildland engines type6x, a SEAT or single engine air tanker, and possibly even a tractor-plow/dozer. Other times of the year when the fire danger is low, only one unit may be dispatched. The Division offices may also dispatch units to incidents, especially on larger incidents, which require resources from through out the division, or even from the other divisions. The Trenton office may coordinate division resources for assignments to other divisions.

 Usually helicopters and heavy equipment (large dozers ECT), are not dispatched on the initial dispatch, except in remote locations where access is difficult. Or if early recon form the aircraft is needed to find the location of fires.

  Small John Deere 350-400s are used regularly at fires in divisions B, C and in A7. The Larger units like the John Deere 450&750, cat D7 and other special tracked or off road vehicles/machines are only used as needed.

            The Forest Fire Service has five helicopters in service, and has three fixed wing aircraft. The Forest Fire Service also contracts with the Downstown Airocrop Corp. for six SEATs (Single Engine Air Takers). Four aircraft are Grumman AgCats, and two Air Tractors crop duster are used from March to May, other times of the year, Downstown can normally supply a number of aircraft during dry spells other then the spring wildfire season. Currently two air bases are operated by the New Jersey Forest Fire Service, one at Airoflex in Andover, Sussex County. The Main Air Base is Coyle Field in Woodland Twsp., Burlington County. The Forest Fire Service also operates an air strip at Strawberry Field in Hamilton Twsp., Atlantic County.


A major fire is declared when a fire reaches 100 acres, this is when additional support is provided to the Incident, such as Mobil command post, overhead support, including the Incident management team, and fleet maintenance personnel are dispatch. All specialized units may be called on smaller incidents as needed. Including large agriculture pumps, and other specialized equipment. Helicopters can be used on smaller fire to help access remote areas, by using Bambi buckets for water drops, or airlifting equipment and firefighters to reach remote areas.

            Major fires in Central and Southern New Jersey in the Pine Barrens areas, can be mostly contained in 24-48 hours, due to the use of mechanized attack with off road wildland engines, and tractor plows/dozers. Larger fires in the mountain areas in Northern New Jersey, require mostly manual suppression, thus much more manpower maybe needed. Many of these type fires in Northern New Jersey can not be reached by trucks. Helicopters and or hiking and the use of hand crews are needed. These fires could take several days to contain; some times these fires can turn into campaign fires, where sleeping tents, food, and other logistical arrangements are made to support fire suppression efforts for several days or weeks.

 The urban areas of north eastern New Jersey ( Essex, Hudson, most of Union, northern Middlesex), areas along the Delaware River from Trenton south to the Salem County, as well as some other suburban and heavy agriculture areas such as the Bayshore of Monmouth County, and farming areas of Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem counties, are not in the Primary Response area. Wildfires in these areas are handled by local fire departments, if they require help; they can call the Forest Fire Service on mutual aid, just like calling any other fire department when help is needed. All other areas of the state in the primary response area, will receive a response from the forest fire service for wildfires, also the control of all agencies/departments working on a wildfire incident as well as the legal responsibility for suppression is with the New Jersey Forest Fire Service in all primary response areas.

 The Forest Fire Service also responds to other emergency, such as floods, storms, wilderness/missing persons searches, aircraft crashes, snow storms, vehicle, and even structure fires in hard to reach remote areas. The Forest Fire Service also assists local law enforcement agencies, emergency managements, and Emergency Medical Services, usually in hard to reach remote areas.


            The Forest Fire Service full time Forest Fire Wardens are law enforcement officers, and enforce state laws including forest fire laws, and air pollutions regulations.


            The Federal Government has several land use agencies in New Jersey; these agencies are responsible for wildfire suppression on their property. Each agency has a cooperative agreement with the New Jersey Forest Fire Service, where all units can help each other at wildfire incidents. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has several properties in New Jersey including Walkill refuge in Sussex County, Supawna Refuge in Salem County , the Great Swamp in Morris County and several units in Costal Ocean and Atlantic Counties. The US Fish and Wildlife Service have about 15 trained fire fighters, and currently operate 2 type 6x engines and a Marsh Master.


The National Park Service operates form several properties in New Jersey. The Delaware Watergap National Recreation Area’s Fire Management Officer (FMO), over sees about 50 trained fire fighters in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey side of the Delaware River. Other areas include the Edison National Historic Site in W. Orange, Jockey Hallow (Morristown) Historic Site. In all 4 type 6x engines and 4 type 7 engines are in service, spread out at all units.

  The Gateway National Recreation Area, Sandy Hook Unit operates several structural apparatus and two wildland units.
