Pennsylvania lifts campfire ban in state parks after rainfall

mcall.com

The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources has lifted the campfire ban in state parks and forest lands due to recent rain. The wet weather has reduced the fire risk. Campfires are now allowed in designated areas with fire rings. Residents are advised to exercise caution when using fires. Previously, the ban was implemented due to dry conditions across the state, which led to burn bans and drought watches. Countywide burn bans did not apply to campfires in state parks or forests.
