The ban forbids burning of any kind in the township. That includes open burning outdoors and in burn barrels as well as recreational burning, such as campfires and bonfires, according to its website.

Firefighters are still on the scene of a forest fire in Felton, where more than six acres of a wooded hillside are charred and smoldering.
