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.
Office of Land Revitalization and Sustainable Materials Management Site Inventories DEM's Office of Waste Management maintains an inventory of sites and files in its various programs (Underground Storage Tanks, Waste Facilities Management, Federal Facilities, and Site Remediation). These lists are current as of the date indicated. Please note that these lists may frequently change as sites or files are added to or removed from these programs. The presence of a site on one of these lists should not be interpreted as an indication of an ongoing problem at that site. Similarly, the absence of a site from these lists should not be interpreted as an indication that the site is free of regulatory issues under these programs.
