On Independence Day, as the nation celebrates its 250th anniversary, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service is also marking its 120th anniversary.

The New Jersey Forest Fire Service was established on July 4, 1906, through an act of the state Legislature signed into law by Governor Edward C. Stokes.

Theophilus Price of Tuckerton was appointed as the state's first forest firewarden, and a township firewarden system was established with 64 firewardens appointed during its first year.

Today, 120 years later, the Forest Fire Service continues its mission to protect lives, property and New Jersey's natural resources

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.
