‼️Fire Danger is HIGH Across the State of Maine‼️

August 14, 2025

🔥The Maine Forest Service has responded to multiple wildfires and continues to have resources committed to some extended attack fires. The fire danger around Maine is HIGH and wildfire spread has been kept to a minimum.

🔥Conditions vary across the State of Maine depending on where you are located, but fires are occurring, and fuels are very susceptible to fire.

🔥Make sure you consult with your local Fire Department, Town Warden, or local Forest Ranger before conducting ANY open burning. In many parts of the state local authorities have implemented restrictions to open burning based on fire danger and their ability to respond to wildfires. The Maine Forest Service supports this effort and encourages NO open burning permits to be issued.

🔥The online open burning permit system is shut off. The Maine Forest Service will not be issuing any open burning permits currently.

🔥Increased staffing of engines and other wildfire suppression equipment statewide with Rangers and call when needed firefighters, are prepositioned around Maine.

🔥Increased aviation resources are available, including helitack, to provide quicker response to wildfires in remote areas of the State. The Maine Army National Guard Aviation resources are available to assist.

🔥Increased communication and coordination with our partners in the fire service, Northeast Forest Fire Protection Compact, Maine Emergency Management Agency, National Weather Service, and landowners in ongoing daily.

🔥If you see wildfire or smoke, please call 9-1-1 to report the fire. Quick notification of a wildfire and response helps to keep wildfires small.

🔥We urge you to be fire conscious when you are out recreating and enjoying all Maine has to offer. With your help we can help keep Maine green!🌲
