Given the current and expected weather conditions, Given the current and expected weather conditions, the Cotuit Fire is prohibiting outdoor burning until further notice. This includes fires associated with fire pits, chimineas, outdoor fireplaces, and cooking and heating equipment that are not specifically covered under 310 CMR 7.07, the Open Burning regulation. This Ban is due to the unprecedented weather conditions that we have been experiencing and will continue to experience through at least this Friday.

We also urge everyone to use extra caution and appropriate containment when disposing of fireplace/woodstove ashes and smoking materials.
