PARSIPPANY — New Jersey Fire Weather Alert and Fireworks Safety Warning: New Jersey’s fire risk remains very high to extreme due to ongoing dry conditions and minimal rainfall, prompting the New Jersey Forest Fire Service to enforce Stage 3 fire restrictions. Recent brush fires in Rockaway, Denville, and Livingston have highlighted the current dangers, as dry landscapes make fires more likely to ignite and spread rapidly.
🚨 Fireworks Alert: All types of fireworks are highly discouraged as they can easily spark brush fires in these dry conditions.
Stage 3 Restrictions Include:
Charcoal fires are strictly prohibited.
Only propane, natural gas, gas, or electric stoves in elevated setups are permitted.
Please consider these conditions carefully while celebrating Diwali and stay safe.
