NYS DEC Spring Burn Ban in Effect March 16 - May 14

Important Notice: NYS Statewide Spring Burn Ban (March 16 – May 14, 2026) 

To help prevent wildfires during the high-risk spring season, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has implemented the annual residential brush burn ban, effective today through May 14.

As the snow melts and temperatures rise, dry vegetation becomes highly combustible. To protect our communities and natural resources, please adhere to the following guidelines:

Prohibited Activities:

Residential Brush Burning: The burning of tree limbs, branches, and yard debris is strictly prohibited during this period.

Open Burning of Trash: Burning leaves, household garbage, or treated lumber remains illegal year-round in New York State.

Permitted Activities:

Small Recreational Fires: Campfires and outdoor fire pits are allowed, provided they are less than 3 feet high and 4 feet in diameter.

Cooking Fires: The use of charcoal or clean, untreated wood for cooking is permitted. Propane and charcoal grills are permitted.

Compliance & Safety:

Violations of the open burn ban are subject to a minimum fine of $500 for a first offense. Please monitor local fire danger ratings, as conditions can change rapidly.

To report a wildfire, call 1-833-NYS-RANGERS. For more information on fire safety and local restrictions, visit the DEC website.
