November 1, 2024 - Statewide Burn Ban in Effect

Effective immediately, the entire State of Maryland is under a burn ban until further. State law enacted in 2007 authorizes the Department of Natural Resources’ Secretary, at the recommendation of the Maryland Forest Service, to implement such a ban when landscape and weather conditions warrant. Open-air burning such as campfires as well as charcoal grilling are not permitted under the burn ban, but state law does permit the use of propane grills.
