Washington County, NY – Department of Public Safety Fire Coordinator Glenn Bristol said, “Every spring we see how fast a simple brush fire can turn into a dangerous wildfire. Dry grass, wind, and one spark can put our communities and our firefighters at serious risk. New York State’s annual spring Burn Ban exists to stop those fires before they start. We’re asking everyone in Washington County to respect the ban and do their part to keep our communities and our first responders safe.”

– Burning of brush or yard debris
– Open fires used to burn leaves or trash (of any kind)
– Large uncontained fires
WHAT IS ALLOWED
