Please be advised:

A red flag warning has been issued for 12PM to 7PM today, Friday, November 1, in certain parts of NJ, including Summit.

A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions are expected or occurring. A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity, and dry fuels will create a significantly elevated fire growth potential.

The NJ Forest Fire Service is reporting that fire danger is extreme today across all of NJ. Stage 3 fire restrictions remain in effect statewide, which prohibits all fires in wooded areas unless contained in an elevated stove using only propane, natural gas, gas, or electricity. No charcoal fires are allowed.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping to keep our community safe. More information is available on the NJDEP website and weather.gov.
