While it actually rained Wednesday night and into this morning — the continued drought conditions have led the Chester County Commissioners to extend the county burn ban through Dec. 26.
The ban extends to most forms of outdoor burning. To recap the original ban passed in October: “The open burn ban includes open burning of any combustible material outdoors in either a burn barrel (screened or unscreened), fire ring, fire pit, or on the ground. This includes the burning of garbage, leaves, grass, twigs, litter, paper, and vegetation from land which has been cleared.”
Use of charcoal grills is sill permitted.
