Worcester County Burn Ban

All outdoor burning in Worcester County is banned for an indefinite amount of time due to drought conditions and high temperatures.

Those fire sources not included in the burn ban are proper use of gas and charcoal grills; campfires at the county’s commercial, state and federal campgrounds; permitted official Ocean City bonfires; private property recreational campfires limited to an area of two feet by three feet high; public fireworks displays; and volunteer fire company training exercises.

All existing outdoor burn permits have been rescinded as a result of the burn ban. Call (410) 632-5666.
