Ridgewood NJ, as Halloween and Diwali approach, the Ridgewood Fire Department has issued important safety guidance for fire-related festivities due to the ongoing drought and dry conditions. For the safety of all residents and to reduce fire risks, the department strongly discourages any use of open flames outdoors, including sparklers and fireworks, in line with New Jersey Forest Fire Service’s recent statewide ban on charcoal grills, bonfires, and firepits.
