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.

  • Dispose of smoking materials safely to prevent mulch or vegetation from igniting and spreading.

Officials ask everyone to remain vigilant, cautious, and practice proper outdoor fire safety. As always, if you see something or smell smoke, report it immediately by calling 911.
