Forester Carl E. Garrison III. "With such extremely dry conditions, any escaped fire would have the potential to become a major wildfire very' quickly. And. since debris burning is already the number one cause of fires in Virginia, a prohibition on all burning will reduce the threat.”
The declaration does not have a direct impact on hunting season, but will prevent the use of warming or camp fires on all state-owned and privately owned lands in Virginia in addition to the prohibition on open burning.
Virginia has records which date back to 1925, and the 30 year average is 1,449 forest fires and 8.338 acres per year. The most fires in one year occurred in 1941 when 3,697 fires were fought. The most acres - 333,023 - burned in 1930.
