The National Weather Service issued a rare November wildfire warning for Bucks County on Friday morning, writes Jess Rohan for the Bucks County Courier Times.

The red flag warning started at noon and lasted until 7 PM.

During the alert, it is recommended that residents avoid burning things outdoors. Friday’s weather recorded relatively high winds, low humidity, and dry conditions, which is a good environment for an errant flame to quickly burn out of control.

According to meteorologist Eric Hoeflich, a fire weather warning in November for southeastern Pennsylvania is “very rare.”

Bucks County is currently under a burn ban set to last through November 25. However, with approval from the county forester and fire chiefs, the ban could be lifted earlier.

The ban prohibits open fires in burn barrels, fire rings, or on the ground, including the burning of trash or leaves.

Campfires within fire rings that properly contain the fire are allowed at campgrounds, as long as all flammable materials within five feet of the fire are cleared.

While the ban includes fire receptacles with screens, it does not include stoves, grills, or tobacco smoking.
