All Open Fires BANNED in Gardner due to Extreme Weather Conditions
In a Press Release of November 4, 2024, Gardner Fire Chief Gregory Lagoy stated that effective immediately “any and all types of outdoor open fires are prohibited in the City of Gardner. All forms of open flames, including for the purposes of cooking, recreational, or ornamental fires are banned until further notice. This includes fires associated with fire pits, chimineas (sic), and outdoor fireplaces. Also the burning of brush and other yard debris is prohibited at this time.”
Lagoy explains the reason is “due to the ongoing lack of rain in the region resulting in drought conditions.”
