Temporary Burn Ban Expires in Bucks County

The County of Bucks has lifted its temporary ban on open burning.

In place since Oct. 27, the ban prohibited open fires amid an extended period of dry conditions in the region. The County saw numerous brush fires during the arid stretch, several of which required large, multi-agency responses to control and extinguish.

The Commissioners passed the temporary ban at the urging of top municipal fire officials from throughout Bucks County. After a 15-day extension, the ban was allowed to expire Tuesday.
