After significant rainfall overnight, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service has announced the lifting of fire restrictions across the state. This comes as a welcome relief after weeks of dry conditions that heightened the risk of wildfires.

Despite the easing of restrictions, officials urge residents to remain vigilant and exercise caution when using fire outdoors. Safety measures such as ensuring campfires are fully extinguished and keeping fire pits away from flammable materials can prevent unnecessary risks.
