Monticello, NY – As wildfires have raged across the State, Governor Kathy Hochul has announced a Statewide burn ban from now through the end of the month.
This ban prohibits the starting of outdoor fires statewide for purposes of brush and debris disposal, as well as uncontained campfires 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.
Monticello, NY – With conditions dry enough that Sullivan County is under a Drought Watch, Fire Coordinator John Hauschild is emphasizing the fact that outdoor burning is incredibly dangerous.
“We’ve had minimal rain over the past few weeks, and vegetation has dried up due to the change in seasons. The smallest spark could easily set trees and brush aflame,” he explained. “I’m urging everyone to avoid open burning and the consequences that can come with it: callouts of local fire departments, damage to plants and properties, and injuries – including death.”
