NY State-wide Burning Ban 16March-14MAY

Annual Spring Burn Ban Reduces Wildfire Risks, Protects Lives and Property

Clarification on Statewide Burn Ban

Wildfires commonly occur in the spring during dry and windy conditions, and open burning is the single greatest cause of wildfires in NYS. A statewide burn ban is in effect from March 16 until May 14. Open burning of brush, limbs, and branches is prohibited. Backyard fire pits, small cooking fires, and small campfires are still okay, but these can never be left unattended.
