Burn Ban Lifted in Greenfield Township

The Board of Supervisors lifted the burn ban in effect in Greenfield Township at the April 7 meeting.

The supervisors urge residents to take extra precautions when burning. Please follow these precautions:

• Only burn on non-windy days and when ground cover is not dry.

• Have a water source available.

• Call 9-1-1’s Controlled Burn number at (814) 940-5950 before you burn brush and when done burning. This is important if someone calls in a fire but it is someone burning brush.

• Burn in a contained area that must be to DEP’s standards, such as a metal barrel or cement ring with a screen on top...
