Message from our Fire Marshal:
The Township has received multiple inquiries about open burning and burning of brush and lawn waste.

The Township has adopted the 2018 International Fire Code, and according to Chapter 3, General Requirements Section 307 Open Burning, Recreational Fires and Outdoor Fireplaces, Subsection 307.1.1 Prohibited open burning. Open burning shall be prohibited when atmospheric conditions or local circumstances make such fires hazardous.

Open burning is prohibited. Outdoor firepits covered by a mesh screen are permitted unless they become a nuisance to others.

Township Open Burning Rescinded:
Important News About Open Burning..Effective February 22, 2012 the Township has officially rescinded its Open Burning Policy and will no longer issue permits. This action is a result of formal notification from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PaDEP) that we are a mandated community under Act 101 and thus any burning is regulated by the state and we cannot supersede its authority. Based on the state law, the only property owners permitted to burn are those considered to be "working farms", defined as the production of agricultural commodities in their unmanufactured state on the premises of the farm operation. Campfires and ceremonial fires are also permitted. Yard waste is NOT permitted to be burned. Yard waste is defined as leaves, grass clippings, garden residue, tree trimmings, chipped shrubbery, and other vegetative materials. Because the Township is a mandated community we are responsible for the enforcement of this Act, and will do what is necessary to ensure that the Township and our residents remain in compliance with it.
