The Town of Montville and Office of Emergency Management, in conjunction with the CT. State DEEP, have instituted a Town wide burn ban on all outside fires. Due to the lack of substantial rainfall, unseasonable temperatures and low relative humidity, the threat of wildfires is increased during this period. There have been many large brush fires throughout the State that have warranted this ban. Any Town resident with a valid permit to burn brush on their property are hereby notified that those permits are suspended until further notice. If you see smoke or discover a fire, call 911 immediately. This ban will remain in effect until such time as the CT DEEP lowers the Forest Fire Danger to Moderate or below.
