HILLSBOROUGH: Smell a fire? Don’t worry, it’s planned

   Heads up. If you smell smoke this weekend in the area of Duke Farms, everything’s OK.
   Township Committeeman Frank DelCore advised Tuesday night that prescribed burns of fields will take place Saturday on the private preserve.
   Starting controlled fires now will lessen the likelihood of wildfires later in the summer, he said. It also has an ecological benefit, spurring native grasses and flowers.
   Signs will be put up and reverse 9-1-1 calls will be made, he said. Fire services will be standing by, he said.
