New Hampshire has a statewide ban on open fires and smoking in or near wooded areas starting Monday, September 22 under a proclamation issued by Gov. Kelly Ayotte. The state was facing severe drought and facing the potential for large, dangerous wildfires. New Hampshire has also suspended its online fire permit system until the drought eases.
