Burn Ban starting March 16th!!!!

Spring is nearly here, and so is the annual burn ban. As the snow melts and temperatures rise, New York State is at an increased risk of wildfires in the spring. In effect from March 16 through May 14, the annual burn ban prohibits residents from burning vegetation and brush with few exceptions.

⚠️ Melting Ice Safety Alert ⚠️

As temperatures rise, ice on lakes, ponds, and rivers become thin, weak, and unpredictable. What looked safe yesterday may break today.

❄️ Stay off thinning ice – Never walk, skate, or play on melting lakes, ponds, or rivers.
🚶 Watch your step – Melting ice and water can create extremely slippery surfaces.
👨‍👩‍👧 Protect children & pets – Keep them away from frozen water during thaw periods.
📞 Act fast – If someone falls through ice, call 911 immediately.

👉 If you’re unsure about the ice, stay off it. No ice is worth the risk!

Stay aware. Stay safe.
