Outdoor burning temporarily outlawed by some

Click here to see the exceptions for each county’s burn ban and when they expire.

What’s not allowed

Anything with an open flame that produces an ember, such as:

  • Campfires
  • Bonfires
  • Fire pits
  • Fire rings
  • Burn barrels
  • Debris burning
  • Field burning

The wind can carry floating embers away from the original fire and start a spot fire up to one-half mile away from the burning area.

What’s allowed

  • Propane/Gas grills
  • Propane/Gas heaters
  • Charcoal grills

Charcoal grill briquettes are of great concern. After use, always let the coals cool completely and douse in water before disposing of them in a metal container. The residual ash should be cold to the touch before disposal.
