New York Burn Ban in Effect Through November 30th, 2024
NY STATE BURN BAN IN EFFECT THROUGH NOVEMBER 30-- FIRE DANGER IS HIGH
New York State has implemented a statewide burn ban in effect until November 30 due to increased fire risk. This burn ban prohibits the starting of outdoor fires statewide for purposes of brush and debris disposal, as well as uncontained campfires, recreational fires and open fires used for cooking.
Backyard fire pits and contained campfires less than three feet in height and four feet in length, width, or
diameter are allowed, as are small, contained cooking fires. A lack of rain in recent months combined with an abundance of dried leaves and brush on the ground has created a higher fire risk than normal.
