Bethel Fire Marshal warns of open fires, legal fireworks

Bethel Emergency Management & Fire Marshal is asking residents to be mindful of open fires and the use of any type of legal fireworks.  Summer Forest Fire Season is here. The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection says the current fire danger is HIGH and may rise to very high or extreme as the week progresses. With the current dry conditions and little to no rain in the forecast, sticks and leaves are ready to catch fire easily with a careless spark.  DEEP says these sparks can come from unexpected sources, such as fireworks, and performing lawn maintenance with chainsaws and lawn mowers. DEEP Forestry is strongly encouraging practicing fire safety and using caution during outdoor activities during these conditions.
