PROGRAM IS INTEGRAL PART OF STATE\’S EFFORTS TO REDUCE WILDFIRE RISKS

(15/P24) TRENTON – New Jersey State Forestry Services advises residents that the seasonal prescribed burning program is under way. The controlled burning program, implemented by the New Jersey Forest Fire Service, is an important part of the state\’s strategy to reduce risk of wildfires that could threaten property or lives.

\”Prescribed burning is part of a planned strategy that the state uses to reduce accumulations of undergrowth, fallen branches and downed trees that can act as tinder and increase the severity of wildfires, making them difficult to control,\” said State Forester Lynn Fleming. \”Prescribed burns help protect lives and property and, at the same time, improve the overall health of our forests.\”

WOODBURY NJ (March 13, 2015)–After hearing Sean P. Allen (DOB 9/14/73), of Woodbury NJ had made a full confession, a judge today (3/13) denied him any reduction on three separate bails of $100,000 each on charges he used a sawed-off shotgun to rob three Heritage’s stores in the Woodbury area in February 2015.

\”Apparently, the state’s proofs are quite substantial,\” said Superior Court Judge Kevin P. Smith, noting that Assistant Gloucester County Prosecutor Alec Gutierrez had also pointed out that Woodbury police recovered the shotgun and \”a significant\” amount of ammunition when arresting Allen at his residence on 3/4/15.

The FBI today announces the FBI’s commemoration of its famous Ten Most Wanted Fugitives program, created 65 years ago.

One trillion gallons.

That’s how much clean drinking water American households waste each year due to leaky pipes, toilets, showerheads and other fixtures. That’s enough water to fill 1,515 Olympic-sized swimming pools!

The good news: fixing these leaks can be easy, inexpensive, and can save you nearly 10 percent on your water bills. EPA’s WaterSense program encourages everyone to \”chase down\” plumbing leaks during next week’s 7^th annual Fix a Leak Week, because leaks can run, but they can’t hide!
