Due to continued dry weather and elevated risk of fire danger, an open burn ban is now in effect in Upper Allen Township through Thursday, May 22, 2025.

Open burning includes the ignition and subsequent burning of any combustible material outside (garbage, leaves, grass, twigs, litter, paper, vegetative matter involved with land clearing, or any sort of debris), including all burning in a burn barrel, bonfire, fire pit, camp fire, on the ground, etc.

The use of propane/gas stoves or propane/gas fire pits, charcoal briquette grills, or the use of tobacco in any form is not covered under the burn ban.

Residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential ignition sources, such as machinery, cigarettes, or matches. If dry grasses and tree litter begin to burn, the fire will have the potential to spread quickly.
