The NJ Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) has been working statewide to prevent wildfires. On March 22nd, their efforts involved at least two prescribed burns on property in Hardwick. Ridge View Echo staff and coincidentally, Hardwick’s Firewise Ambassador in charge of assisting to spread the word about wildfire prevention, obtained permission from the State DEP to attend one in action and report on the process.
