Urgent Notice: Effective immediately: An outdoor fire ban will be in effect for the Town of Mendon until further notice due to extremely dry conditions. These conditions significantly increase the risk of fires that start and have the potential to spread rapidly and become difficult to extinguish.

This includes a wide range of activities such as fire pits, chimineas, recreational fires, and charcoal grills. Sparks and embers from these activities can easily ignite dry vegetation. Also, use caution when using lawnmowers, leaf blowers, ATVs, and other power equipment. The engines can become hot enough to ignite dry leaves and grass.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our community safe. Your understanding and adherence to these measures are vital. Remember, we all play a crucial role in preventing any fire incidents during this critical time!
