UPDATE: Burn Ban Lifted

The State of New Hampshire has lifted the statewide burn ban effective today, October 29, 2025.

Recent rainfall and higher humidity have helped reduce wildfire danger across the region. However, drought conditions still persist, and fire danger will continue to fluctuate—please burn responsibly and use caution, as dry leaves and brush can still ignite easily this time of year.

Burn permits are still required and will be available for purchase again starting tomorrow morning.

Before burning, always check the official daily fire danger forecast from the State of NH. You can subscribe to their daily email updates for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Important: Avoid relying on unverified sources (including AI-generated tools) for fire danger levels—they are not always accurate.
