St. Lucie County has been placed under a burn ban since Feb. 9 following extreme drought conditions.<\/p>\n

This ban applies to all non-permitted outdoor burning. Agricultural burning may be allowed only on a case-by-case basis as authorized by the Florida Forest Service.<\/p>\n

“Although we’ve seen some rain, conditions remain very dry and the burn ban remains in place to help reduce the risk of fires across our community,” the St. Lucie County Fire District announced March 6.<\/p>\n

During the burn ban, the following are prohibited:<\/p>\n

Outdoor burning of any combustible material<\/p>\n

Cooking fires unless exclusively on a contained gas or charcoal grill<\/p>\n
