The Brattleboro Fire Department will keep watching weather and ground conditions and issue more guidance if necessary.
Brattleboro officials have ended the town’s burn ban after a stretch of rain eased wildfire concerns and brought fire danger levels down.
The restriction had been in place since Oct. 26, when dry conditions and a lack of rainfall prompted town leaders to limit open burning because even a minor spark could have quickly spread in the tinder-dry landscape.
Residents may once again conduct open burning, but the town says it must be done under local rules and with caution. Safety guidance from officials includes keeping a fire attended at all times, using only natural wood, having water or other suppression equipment nearby and making sure the fire is fully out before anyone leaves the area.
