No state-issued burning restrictions are in effect (verified July 29, 2026 against Vermont FPR's live Wildfire Situation Update — Vermont statewide preparedness level 2, with 64 wildfires and 258.25 acres burned year to date). Standing rule: you must get a burn permit from your Town Forest Fire Warden before any open burning — it is the law (10 V.S.A. § 2645) — and local wardens may add their own restrictions when conditions warrant, so local conditions vary. Vermont's daily fire danger map is updated March 20–November 30. Check the state wildfire-situation page and your warden before burning.
