Campfire Law

The Maine Forest Service enacted a new law regulating campfires, effective October 25, 2023. According to the law, a campfire may not exceed 3 feet in diameter on the ground at the base of the fire or exceed 3 feet in height. Anything larger requires a burn permit. If a property owner observes a fire on the lake that exceeds these dimensions, the association requests an immediate call to the Rangeley Fire Chief.
