Due to the extremely dry conditions, the Fire Marshal is requesting that residents be hypervigilant of fire hazards. Upper Providence Township is under a burning ban to prevent wildfires.
DO NOT:
- Burn yard waste or refuse
- Throw cigarettes on dry brush
- Use fireworks
Recreational fires (max 3' in diameter, 2' high) in fire-safe containers are allowed, but please be cautious. BBQs, outdoor fireplaces, and smokers are also permitted with care.
All of Chester, Delaware, Bucks, Montgomery, and Berks counties are under moderate drought. With no rain in sight, fire danger remains high. Stay safe, stay vigilant!
