The Rochester Fire Department is announcing that as of August 19, 2025, the Fire Danger level has been downgraded from VERY HIGH to HIGH.

  • ONLY contained campfires no greater than 2 feet in diameter are allowed today. These are considered Category 1 fires.

  • Categories 2 and 3 are NOT permitted.

  • DO NOT leave any fire unattended.

  • Please have water readily available, such as a garden hose, in case it is needed.
