FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Burn Ban Lifted in Collier County

Collier County is lifting the burn ban effective Thursday, July 2, 2026. The decision to lift the ban came following a review by the Collier County Emergency Management Department, Florida Forest Service, Collier County Fire Chiefs’ Association, and Collier County Sheriff’s Office. The same group identified the need to issue a burning ban in January after certain environmental conditions were met, including dry conditions. 

Collier County Government continues to urge residents to practice outdoor burning safety to reduce the community's year-round wildfire risk. Additionally, County officials recommend that residents visit smokeybear.com and Florida Forest Service to learn more about safe burning practices.

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