MESSAGE FROM THE JAMESBURG FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE IMPORTANT NOTICE DURING CURRENT DROUGHT SITUATION
The New Jersey Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) has implemented Stage 3 burn restrictions, which includes a mandatory ban on bonfires, the discharging of fireworks, including the ban of discharging fireworks during the celebration of Diwali, and the use of any open flame or flame producing devises in connection with any public gathering for purposes of entertainment, amusement or recreation, due to the extreme drought conditions statewide. In addition, the State of New Jersey Division of Fire Safety has issued a directive to all New Jersey Fire Prevention Bureaus to NOT issue permits for the discharging of fireworks.
As we approach the celebration of Diwali, we strongly discourage the use of fireworks purchased in New Jersey stores, including noveltie items, to ensure everyone’s safety. In addition, the purchase, possession, and discharging of fireworks, purchased outside of New Jersey, is illegal and prohibited by New Jersey State law. Thank you for your cooperation.
