Mahwah NJ, A Monday afternoon, 04/17, brush fire at the Ramapo County Reservation on Ramapo Valley Road in Mahwah required the services of mini pumpers and fire personnel from Mahwah, Ramsey, Hillburn NY, and the NJDEP’s Forest Fire Service. Mahwah EMS and PD also responded to the incident. Hiking trails throughout the Reservation’s “upper area” were closed as crews fought the smokey blaze. A Forest Fire Service helicopter was also called in to assist in the fire suppression efforts.
Great wild park.tons of leafs on the ground..wild and recently downed trees swamp oaks litter the fields and hills
Needs a good clean up.would be a massive project .lt is a huge property ..fire risk is likely very high with surrounding properties and families this needs a closer look.might mean money and volunteers
Massive project? Just needs a good prescribed burn.
11:11. Every wooded area faces those problems. Trees and leaves are not litter, they are nature.
Maybe they should contact the National Parks Service for advice.
The only safe thing to do would be to create a massive sports complex. No trees, no problem.
