Effective immediately the Somerset County Commissioners have imposed a moratorium on all outdoor burning until further notice.
The ban applies to all outdoor ignition sources, including campfires, bonfires, fireworks, leaf, brush, grass and trash burning and other similar methods of open incineration.
Cooking with contained barbeque grills and charcoal grills are still permissible.
The burn ban will remain in effect until sufficient rainfall is received.
