Alert: No Open Burning

Norfolk residents: Because of the severe lack of rain, the Norfolk Fire Department has banned any open burning for the foreseeable future. This includes campfires, backyard fire pits, chimineas, etc. Fighting forest fires in these terribly dry conditions is very difficult and dangerous for our fire fighters.

I want to thank everyone for their cooperation.

Matt Riiska, First Selectman
