If you have received a permit from your local Open Burning Official (North Branford Fire Marshal's Office) to burn brush on your property, the permit is not valid if the Forest Fire Danger is rated high, very high or extreme and you are burning within 100 feet of a grassland or woodland.

Please remember that all burning permit holders are required to check with our dispatchers the day that burning is desired to confirm that conditions are safe and burning is allowed. Please call 203-484-2703.

If you spot a fire, remain calm, dial 911 to report the fire as quickly as possible to the fire department. Calmly tell the emergency dispatcher when you saw it and where you saw it. Stay on the telephone until the dispatcher tells you to hang up.

EMERGENCY BURN BAN IN EFFECT FOR TOWN OF NORTH BRANFORD
State of Connecticut Under “Red Flag” Conditions with Sustained Elevated Risk of Wildfire Catching and Spreading


NORTH BRANFORD –The North Branford Fire Marshal’s Office, the Local Burning Officials for the Town of North Branford have instituted an emergency burn ban effective immediately, with the issuing of burn permits suspended, and those already with permits required to not burn over the course of the next fourteen days. Residents are asked not to burn any brush on their property, or operate any outdoor grills, firepits, campfires etc. until the conclusion of the ban.

The State of Connecticut is under a “Red Flag” alert with extremely dry conditions and lack of rain which will continue at least over the next ten days, creating high risk for the ignition and spread of wildfires. Governor Ned Lamont has declared a State of Emergency due to the critical fire weather conditions, with a large brush fire having ignited at Lamentation Mountain in Berlin and Meriden this week, and state and local agencies working to suppress several other fire incidents that have been sparked statewide. The State Department of Energy and Environmental Protection has also instituted a burn ban at all Connecticut State Parks, Forests, and Wildlife Management areas.

Residents are asked to be vigilant concerning the following activities which are the most common causes of wildfire ignition:

• Discarded smoking materials
• ATV and UTV activity especially without spark arresters
• Dragging trailer chains
• Use of outdoor grills
• Campfires
• Power tools and equipment that generate heat or sparks
