Franklin
and Gulf Counties have issued burn bans until our area gets some much
needed rainfall.
Our
area has not received any appreciable rainfall in weeks making
conditions ripe for wildfires.
Forestry
officials have already seen major wildfires in the panhandle
including in Gulf and Wakulla Counties.
The
burn bans prohibit all outdoor burning of yard trash, household paper
products, bonfires, campfires, warming fires and cooking fires.
There
is an exception for above ground, self-contained cooking grills that
are attended to and monitored by responsible adults.
The
use of charcoal briquettes is allowed as long as the briquettes are
thoroughly extinguished with water after use.
If
you have any questions you can contact the Franklin County Emergency
Management Office at 850-653-8977.
