Escambia, Santa Rosa Lift Burn Bans

May 28, 2020

Escambia and Santa Rosa counties are lifting their burn bans.

The burn bans in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties have been lifted.

“We appreciate the public’s diligence during the burn ban to keep our community safe,” Interim Fire Chief Paul Williams said. ”It is very important to follow the outdoor burning regulations that have been in place to prevent a fire from getting out of control. Please do not hesitate to call the fire department if you have any questions. We are happy to help.”

The Florida Forest Service will begin re-issuing burn permits on Friday.  Under a city ordinance, open burning is not allowed within the Pensacola city limits, regardless of weather conditions.

    I’ve got stuff to burn, but not if the wind doesn’t die down.
    I’m not taking that chance.
