Help Prevent Pollution and Wildfires
Open burning is the single greatest cause of wildfires in NYS. To report a wildfire, call 1-833-NYS-RANGERS (1-833-697-7264).
When you plan a fire, always check for fire danger in your area on DEC's online map (updated every week).
Also, local governments may have stricter rules than NYS; your fire department will have information about local burning laws.
