FIRE BAN IN EFFECT In response to the continued elevated risk of wildfires, DEM has issued a fire ban at all State Parks, campgrounds, and management areas until further notice. The ban is effective as of today (10/28/24) and includes campfires in designated campfire areas, including charcoal fires and cooking fires. This preventative measure applies to all DEM-managed lands and aims to reduce the threat of human-caused wildfires. DEM will continue to monitor and evaluate conditions to determine when the ban can be lifted. Together we can protect our communities and keep first responders safe by reducing the risk of wildfires: 📞 Call 911 if you spot a fire/smoke. Timely information is critical to contain fires before they spread. 🔥 Remember, any outdoor fire is a potential source for a wildfire. Be careful with cigarettes and ashes. When disposing of wood stove ashes, put the ashes in a metal bucket of water. 🚒 Check with your local fire department for any other restrictions and permitting information. 🚨 Stay informed and find resources at dem.ri.gov/wildfirestatus.
RI Map Inventory The Rhode Island Low Impact Development (LID) / Green Infrastructure (GI) Inventory is an online tool showing how these types of stormwater practices are being used throughout Rhode Island. You can search for LID sites two ways: 1. Explore the Map Search by town or type of treatment practice (map will open in a new window) 2. Browse the Complete List Organized by type of treatment practice. You can also find companies that design or install these LID/GI practices in each site description. We hope seeing how these practices are being used throughout Rhode Island is useful for anyone planning to use these innovative techniques.
