Despite Rain, Burn Ban Still In Place

July 16, 2011

Despite our recent wet weather, a burn ban remains in effect in Escambia County.

The burn ban issued last month prohibits all open outdoor burning, including trash and debris burning, campfires, bonfires, fireworks and all other similar fires. The Town of Century and the City of Pensacola are included in the burn ban.

Sonya Daniel, public information office for Escambia County, said Friday that the burn ban is still in place.  She said the need for the burn ban will be reviewed on Monday by the county’s fire chief.

    Typical bureaucrats, they’ll review it on Monday so that the homeowner’s have lost a weekend when they could be burning yard waste. I’m pretty sure that Monday won’t be any different rain wise then last week was. The northern part of the county got it again last night and the southern end of the county has been getting it almost every day now.
