No active wildfires in Vermont despite dry conditions and moderate fire danger
No large wildfires or fire-weather alerts are active across Vermont today.
Conditions and Outlook
No Red Flag Warnings or fire weather watches are in effect, and significant fire potential remains low through midweek. Persistent dry weather and breezy afternoon winds have dried leaf litter and grasses, maintaining moderate fire danger statewide.
Burn Bans and Land Management
There is no statewide burn ban, though state law requires a permit from a local Town Forest Fire Warden for any open burning. Several municipalities have enacted local restrictions, including a burn permit suspension in Essex and a burn ban in Brattleboro.
What Residents Should Do
- Obtain a permit from your local Town Forest Fire Warden before conducting any outdoor burning.
- Follow local municipal burning bans and permit suspensions where enacted.
- Postpone burning brush and yard debris until significant precipitation or snow arrives.
