Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough declared a local state of disaster and issued a countywide burn ban effective Oct. 14, citing rapidly worsening drought conditions and an elevated risk of wildfires, he announced in an Oct. 13 Facebook post.

What you need to know: The order, made in consultation with the County Fire Marshal and the Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management, prohibits all outdoor burning not specifically permitted and inspected by the Fire Marshal’s Office, according to the resolution. Commercial land-clearing operations using air curtain incinerators must also suspend activity until receiving inspection approval.

Keough said prolonged dry weather has left local vegetation dangerously dry, warning that “even small sparks can quickly become dangerous wildfires.” 

Diving in deeper: The declaration activates the county’s emergency management plan and authorizes emergency response and recovery measures. Violations of the burn ban are punishable by fines up to $1,000 or up to 180 days in jail.

The order will remain in effect until weather conditions improve and the county determines it is safe to lift restrictions.
