Cheltenham Township Fire Marshal’s Office announced today a 30-day “burn ban” in response to the potential for uncontrollable fire spread and wildfires due to an extended period of dry conditions affecting greater Glenside and surrounding areas.

The ban prohibits open fires, including recreational fire pits and fireworks, officials said.

You can contact the Fire Marshal at 215-887-1000 ext. 235 with any questions.
