Pennsylvania Burn Bans
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources webpage, there are no statewide seasonal bans in Pennsylvania. A temporary statewide burning ban can be issued by a Governor’s Proclamation.
On the county level, burn bans can be placed on open burning by the district fire warden, which would remain in effect for no more than 30 days, unless extended by the county commissioner for up to another 30 days. It is always recommended that anyone wishing to burn contact the local fire department or municipality to ensure that their burn is in line with local regulations.
