The Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation issued an order for all Town Forest Fire Wardens to stop issuing burning permits from noon on Sept. 22, until the order is revoked.
“Persistent dry conditions coupled with dry falling leaves create a high risk for rapid fire spread,” according to Dan Dillner, forest fire supervisor. “With ground water deficits, fires will burn into the soil, consuming dried organic matter as fuel. These fires require considerable resources to contain and extinguish.”
