County Fire Coordinator Reminds Residents of State Burn Ban
Oswego County Fire Coordinator Donald Forbes reminds county residents of the annual statewide ban on all open burning which is in effect in New York during the high fire-risk period of March 16 through May 14. The ban makes it illegal to use a burn barrel or open pit as a means for incinerating trash. The burning of leaves is also banned anytime of the year in New York State.
