Garrett County Burn Ban Lifted

Following a review of weather and ground conditions, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources has rescinded a statewide ban on open-air burning on November 21, 2024. This ban was implemented to prevent the spread of wildfires across the state.

Garrett County has also lifted the local ban but reminds residents that a burn permit is still required for all open burning, except for small recreational fires such as campfires, for outdoor cooking of food and fires associated with agricultural practice.

More information from the Garrett County Health Department can be found here: https://garretthealth.org/burn-permits/
