In Summary:
The burn ban was rescinded after the county’s average Keetch-Byram Drought Index remained below 500 for seven consecutive days, meeting the requirements outlined in Orange County’s Fire Prevention and Protection Ordinance. The change applies to unincorporated Orange County and the municipalities of Edgewood, Belle Isle, Oakland, and Eatonville that receive Orange County Fire Rescue services. Officials remind residents that while recreational burning may resume, anyone starting a fire should have the means to extinguish it safely.
