Outdoor Burning Ban For Worcester County Has Been Cancelled

Effective Immediately

The outdoor burning ban in effect for Worcester County since midApril has been cancelled due to sufficient rainfall last week.

Worcester County Fire Marshall Jeff McMahon says  that a continued dry weather pattern would force the return of the burning ban and cautions residents and visitors against burning since rainfall amounts vary in each area of the county. 

Furthermore, all who conduct outdoor burnings, regardless of the type, are reminded that the law requires any fire to be attended from start to extinguishment. Precautions for having the proper tools and safe water supply are also required.
