Verify Local Regulations Prior to Open Burning

While the requirement for burn permits has been lifted as of May 15, it remains crucial for residents to verify any local regulations regarding outdoor burning prior to igniting a fire. According to state law, individuals must secure a burn permit for any outdoor burning activities conducted between October 15 and May 15 annually. Nevertheless, even after this period, it is essential to confirm that your local municipality does not impose any specific burning restrictions. To ensure safety and compliance, residents are encouraged to reach out to their local municipality or fire department before proceeding with any burning activities.
