Burn Ban Lifted in Collier County

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Burn Ban Lifted in Collier County

The Collier County Board of County Commissioners lifted the burn ban effective immediately. The decision to lift the ban came following a review by Collier County Emergency Management, the Florida Forest Service, and the Collier County Fire Chiefs’ Association. The same group identified the need to issue a burning ban in February after certain environmental conditions were met, including a lack of rainfall. 

“We continue to urge residents to practice outdoor burning safety to reduce Collier County’s year-round wildfire risk and thank the public for their cooperation,” said Dan Summers, Director of Collier County Emergency Management. “In addition, we suggest you learn more about safe burning practices at smokeybear.com and Florida Forest Service.”

For more information, please call 311 or (239) 252-4311.
