Mandatory Fire Restrictions in Woodland Park

In light of worsening drought conditions and an increase in forest fires, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has announced **mandatory fire restrictions** across the state, including Woodland Park.

Key Restrictions Include:

- All open fires are prohibited unless contained in an elevated stove using only propane, natural gas, or electricity.

- No smoking and no open fires are allowed in any local parks.

- Residential fire pits are also included in this prohibition. Please refrain from using fire pits at home to ensure the safety of our community.

We urge all residents to comply with these regulations to help protect our community and natural environments. Please do not dump hot coals and ensure your barbecuing is safe and responsible.
