New Jersey Police Warn Against Halloween Firepits Amid High Fire Warning

Cranford Issues Red Flag Warning

**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.

Additionally, residents are urged to exercise caution when discarding smoking materials. These precautions aim to minimize the risk of fires in the area.
