| Barnard Fire Fighters checking our wildland brush equipment. The weather has been great this week, however conditions for fires are increasing. A reminder from our County Fire Coordinator and the NYS DEC:
The 2026 New York State DEC annual burn ban is in effect from March 16 through May 14, 2026. This statewide ban prohibits the burning of residential brush, sticks, and leaves to reduce wildfire risk.
