DEC announces Burn Ban from March 16th to May 14th
The Department of Environmental Conservation has announced a statewide two month ban on residential brush burning to begin on March 16th and end on May 14th.
Warming temperatures of the Spring season often leads to conditions where wildfires can easily start and spread. As snow melts, dry leaves from the previous Fall are exposed and can easily ignite and spread while being fueled by springtime winds.
