The Town of Bethel has issued a reminder that the no open burning order remains in effect as extremely dry conditions continue. With fire danger at an extreme level and another Red Flag Warning expected today, residents are prohibited from having any outdoor fires. That includes bonfires, campfires, or burning brush. Volunteer fire departments have handled numerous open burn complaints in recent weeks, with one incident leading to a misdemeanor summons. Fire officials urge everyone to dispose of smoking materials and ashes properly to prevent fires.
