  LACEY – There will be a prescribed burn taking place on March 14 located in the area of West Lacey Road between Spaulding Avenue and Carriage Road, west of the Garden State Parkway.

  The New Jersey Forest Fire Service, in partnership with the Ocean County Parks Department will be conducting the fire 10:30 a.m. and 10 p.m. and the roadway will be accessible to local traffic only between those hours.

  A detour will be placed at Lacey Road and the Garden State Parkway, and at Lacey Road and Dover Road, as those roads will be affected by a smoke condition during burning operations.

  Any residents situated off Spaulding Avenue are encouraged to use the east side of the detour which is closest to the Garden State Parkway. They can gain access to their residence as the roadway west of Spaulding Ave will be closed.

  Also, residents within the Carriage Road development are asked to enter their homes from the west end of the detour at Lacey Road and Dover Road, as Lacey Road will be closed to traffic east of Penhook Road.
