Description
Bucks County officials announced a 30-day burn ban effective this Sunday in response to drought conditions and increased wildfire risks across the area.
The Bucks County Commissioners issued a resolution passed Friday to implement the prohibition to mitigate fire hazards caused by the prolonged dry spell.
The ban restricts all open burning, including the use of burn barrels, fire rings, and on-ground fires for disposing of materials such as garbage, leaves, twigs, and paper, according to county officials.
While the ban strictly limits open fires, it does not extend to propane or gas stoves and charcoal briquet grills. Tobacco use remains unrestricted. Campfires are still permissible within designated campground rings if they are properly contained and flammable materials are cleared within a five-foot radius, officials said.
Violators of the ban face fines, starting at $100 for a first offense, per state law.
