High Fire Danger – No Outside Burning or Fireworks

Due to dry conditions and forecasted low humidity and winds in our area, the fire danger is high.  As a result, all burn permit issuance,  permitted open burning, and consumer fireworks discharge in Keene is suspended beginning 9/18/2025 and will continue until further notice.  Until the “High Fire Danger” banner is removed, this open burning and consumer fireworks prohibition will remain active.   Please contact the Fire Department office or call the on-duty Fire Captain with any questions or concerns: (603) 357-9861.

Check the Fire Department page – the notice will be removed from the page when the ban is lifted.
