fire danger

No burn permits are being allowed right now in New Hampshire due to the high risk of wildfires due to the drought.

CAMPTON — Much-needed rainfall received within the last week in New Hampshire has not been enough to significantly decrease the risk of wildfires statewide and officials from the N.H. Forest Protection Bureau and the N.H. Fire Marshal’s Office are reminding everyone to avoid behaviors that can contribute to the start and the spread of wildfires.

Gov. Chris Sununu's proclamation issued Sept. 24 restricting fires and banning smoking in or near woodlands remains in effect until further notice.
