Pulaski County officials warn against open air burning

PULASKI COUNTY, VA – Pulaski County officials are asking residents to refrain from any
outdoor burning. Due to higher than normal temperatures accompanied by dry and breezy
conditions, the likelihood of uncontrollable fire spread in our area is incredibly high. Outdoor
burning at any time of the day could quickly become an out of control wildfire.

In accordance with state outdoor fire laws, any person participating in an open burn that results
in a forest fire will be guilty of a Class 3 misdemeanor and will be financially responsible for all
costs associated with suppressing the fire.
