Tomorrow, March 16th, the annual burn ban goes into effect across New York State to help prevent wildfires during the high-risk spring season. Open burning of brush and debris is prohibited from through May 14. These temporary restrictions help protect our communities, first responders, and natural resources by reducing the risk of rapidly spreading brush fires.

For detailed information regarding the contents of the burn ban, visit https://dec.ny.gov/environmental-protection/air-quality/open-burning.

Stay safe and help keep Orange County wildfire-free this Spring.
