Princess Anne, Maryland — Outdoor Burning Ban Continues

The ban applies to all outdoor ignition sources, including campfires, bonfires, fireworks, leaf, brush, grass and trash burning and other similar methods of open incineration. Cooking with contained barbecue grills and charcoal grills are still permissible.
The burn ban remains in effect until it is formally lifted by the Somerset County Commissioners.
