Chester Residents - Please be aware there is a increased risk of fire spread. The National weather service has issued a special weather statement to this end :

"There is an increased risk for fire spread today across portions
of northern New Jersey. Minimum relative humidity values will be
between 20 to 30 percent combined with south-southwest winds near
10 to 15 mph and gusts up to 20-25 mph. High temperatures this
afternoon will range from the mid 60s to low 70s. These conditions
along with the continued drying of fine fuels could support the
rapid spread of any fires that ignite, which could quickly become
difficult to control.

Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Be sure to properly
extinguish or dispose of any potential ignition sources, including
smoking materials such as cigarette butts. Refer to your state`s
forest fire management agency for more information on burn
restrictions for your local area."
