Maryland has enacted a statewide burn ban starting November 1 due to dry conditions that heighten wildfire risks. The ban prohibits open-air burning, including campfires and charcoal grilling, though propane grills remain allowed. A $125 fine is imposed for violations. The ban will continue until sufficient rainfall reduces wildfire threats. Local restrictions were previously established in some areas, and officials are monitoring conditions closely.
