Cranford, NJ – The Cranford Police Department has issued a warning about weather conditions that may increase the risk of fires. The statement advises caution due to the combination of very dry conditions, low relative humidity, and gusty winds expected to persist over the next week.
These weather conditions are conducive to the rapid spread of fires, making any that develop challenging to control. Consequently, the department strongly advises against the use of residential fire pits during this period.
Additionally, residents are urged to exercise caution when discarding smoking materials. These precautions aim to minimize the risk of fires in the area.
