Fire Marshal extends burning ban
Dry conditions have forced the Loudoun County Fire Marshal's Office to extend the open-burning ban indefinitely beginning Sept. 1.
The ban was set to end at midnight Aug. 31 but has been extended until conditions improve, Loudoun Fire and Rescue spokeswoman Mary Maguire said.
With the ban in effect, people are not allowed to burn anything outside except over a campfire or grill. This ban applies to all areas of Loudoun County, including the seven incorporated towns. Violations of the open-burning ban could result in a penalty of up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $2,500, Maguire said.
