Burn ban in effect

Due to recent fires and the high drought index, the Santa Rosa Board of County Commissioners have enacted a burn ban. The ban prohibits open
burning, to include but not limited to campfires, wildfires, bonfires, trash burning and other similar forms of incineration. State permitted burns,
authorized fireworks displays and fireworks sales which are authorized by state law and outdoor cooking in barbecue grills, smokers, or other outdoor
stoves located at private residences are exempt.
The ban will remain in effect until the drought index falls below 400 and the fire-borne threat has ended.
