🔥 Open Burning Reminder 🔥
Sheriff Jeffery T. Smith would like to remind everyone that although the NYS spring burn ban has ended, safe burning practices are still everyone’s responsibility.

If you plan to burn, please follow NYS DEC’s open burning regulations to help prevent wildfires. You can review the rules at https://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/32060.html

If you do burn:
✅ Have tools or water ready to control the fire.
✅ Call 911 immediately if it gets out of control.
✅ Notify our Dispatch Center first at 518-853-5500 with your location to avoid unnecessary fire department responses.

Let’s work together to keep our communities safe!

Our dedicated volunteer firefighters have already responded to two fires in the county today linked to heat lamps, a reminder how quickly things can go wrong this time of year.

Sheriff Jeffery T. Smith reminds residents to take a few extra minutes when setting up for chicks or other animals, a simple check can prevent serious damage or loss.

Stay alert and take the time to do it right.
