The New Jersey Forest Fire Service has a warning for South Jersey.
Wednesday and Thursday are being considered high risks for forest fires.
Due to the dry, cold weather along with the windy conditions leads to an enhanced fire weather danger.
"...Be very careful with campfires, with these cold nights people are burning their fireplaces and wood stoves, any time they discard ashes we want to make sure they're completely out, and where they discard them, be very careful, where they discard them," said Russ Fenton, Section Warden of the NJ Forest Fire Service.
On Monday, a forest fire ripped through more than 80 acres in Hamilton Township.

SOUTH JERSEY -
The application period for South Jersey Fire and Rescue Departments to apply for assistance grants will open on Monday.

The Department of Homeland Security's assistance to Firefighters Grants Program provides for funding to increase the effectiveness of firefighting and emergency response operations. Officials with the Atlantic City Fire Department, which may have to layoff dozens of firefighters due to a loss of safer grant funding are unable to apply for these grants because they are still waiting on word of approval of a new safer grant.
