[SCA-AE] FW: [Mid] Road report for travellers to Pennsic

[Edward Lindey]

No! The Pa DoA website states that no firewood may be brought INTO Pa from
out of state and no firewood may be removed FROM the effected area. Nothing
is said in their order about bringing firewood from another Pa county INTO
Butler. Unless they change their order, you MAY bring firewood into Butler,
(Pennsic), from another Pa county, just not from out of state. (Follow the
link and read it, including the sub links at their site to get the truth).

No. Firewood can not be brought into or out of Butler County.

So, it should still be okay to bring firewood from within PA. I live in an 
affectted county (Beaver), so it shouldn't be a problem.

To minimize the spread of the pests, the Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture has implemented a quarantine banning the importation of
out-of-state firewood. Firewood includes all wood processed or
unprocessed, coniferous or hardwood, meant for use in a campfire or
other outdoor or indoor fire. Kiln-dried, packaged firewood clearly
marked with the producer's name and address and labeled as 'Kiln
Dried' and/or USDA Certified are exempt from the provisions of this
quarantine. Click here for the complete firewood quarantine order.

This means ALL firewood coming in from out of state. No exceptions.
They tried for a while keeping it to only "unaffected" counties, but
now it is a complete ban, and has been for a little while.
