Burning Tips & Precautions
The Centre County Board of Commissioners decided today, in coordination with the Centre County Fire Chief's Association and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources--Bureau of Forestry, to terminate the County-wide burn ban, which has been in effect since May 5, 2006.  They say the recent rains and green foliage have helped to ease the threat of wildfires; however, persons are urged to use extreme caution when burning outside.

Residents are encouraged to avoid any burning on windy days or  near any wooded areas.  Burn only small amounts at at time and have a garden hose, metal rake and shovel nearby to control the fire.  Everyone is reminded they can be potentially held liable for the costs of damages and extingushing out-of-control fires.
