press release August 21, 2015
TRENTON – Responding to the growing need for support to fight Western wildfires, the Christie Administration is sending an additional 20 members of the New Jersey Forest Fire Service and New Jersey State Forestry Services to assist in the battling of wildfires that are raging across parts of the Northwest, Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin announced today.
These members, who are expected to leave New Jersey over the weekend or early next week, will supplement 32 firefighters, including three wildfire truck crews, the Christie Administration dispatched more than week ago as part of a cooperative aid agreement with the U.S. Forest Service.
