Prescribed Burn Taking Place Tuesday In Madison

MADISON, NJ — No need for alarm! Officials will conduct a prescribed burn Tuesday morning at the Madison Recreation Complex.

The controlled burn will take place to remove invasive plants and revitalize the soil in the meadow. Borough officials expect it to last from around 10 a.m. to noon.

Smoke will be visible throughout the burn site. But the forecast projects the light breeze blowing it toward The Green At Florham Park/Jets Training Facility/Route 24.

The New Jersey Forest Fire Service will oversee the burn, and the Madison and Florham Park Fire Departments will be on site for support.
