Outdoor burning rules in Huntington, NY — also called the burn ban, open burning, or fire restriction ordinance — set when you can burn yard waste, debris, or run a recreational fire.
NY DEC prohibits open burning of brush statewide from March 16 to May 14 annually. In Huntington (Town population over 200,000), residential brush burning is prohibited year-round under 6 NYCRR Part 215.
Under 6 NYCRR Part 215, residential brush burning is only allowed in towns with populations under 20,000 outside the March 16-May 14 burn ban. Huntington's population exceeds 200,000, so open burning of brush is prohibited year-round. Allowed: small cooking fires, ceremonial bonfires with permit, and on-site burning of agricultural waste in very limited cases. Burning of household trash, leaves, and construction debris is always illegal. DEC Region 1 and Huntington Fire Marshal enforce.
DEC violations carry fines up to $2,500 for first offense and $5,000 for repeat offenses. Criminal charges possible for intentional or dangerous burning.
