CURRENT NJ WILDFIRE ACTIVITY
WILDFIRE
11/04/26 @ 1300 hours- SECTION A4 ‘Gorge Wildfire’- Picatinny Arsenal, Rockaway Twp- Base FD is working an estimated 40 acre wildfire near the gorge and 4th Ave. NJFFS resources have been requested along with multiple mutual aid departments. NJFFS Huey Delta 5 is enroute to work the fire. Updated 11/04/26.
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.
