Franklin Fire Department issues alert on Local Brush Fires

Via Franklin Fire Dept:

alert on Local Brush Fires

"Brush fires continue to burn across the Commonwealth, so please expect to experience the odor of smoke, and possibly a general haze, when outdoors.  While it is not necessary to call 911 to report these conditions, we do ask that should you directly see any new sources of smoke or fire, please call 911 immediately and provide us with the most specific location that you can.  

Please refrain from any unnecessary use of open flames outdoors, such as fire pits, and be cautious when using charcoal or gas grills.  

Lastly, remember that open burning of brush is prohibited until January 15, 2025.  

Thank you."
