Burn ban – Alachua and Baker Counties

Alachua and Baker County has implemented a mandatory burn ban due to heightened wildfire risks. The countywide burn ban prohibits all types of unpermitted and/or non-exempted open incineration where the burning of any matter results in the products of combustion being emitted directly into the outdoor atmosphere without passing through a stack or chimney. This includes, but is not limited to: campfires, bonfires, unpermitted controlled burns, burning of yard and household trash, burning of construction debris, burning of organic debris and igniting of fireworks.
