Orange County Burn Ban Lifted
Orange County, Fla – The Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) for Orange County has fallen below 500 for the seventh consecutive day. As of April 25, 2023, the burn ban which prohibits the ignition and burning of open fires, is no longer in effect.
Orange County Fire Rescue officials will continue to monitor conditions to determine the need for future bans.
Although the KBDI has dropped, Orange County Fire Rescue reminds citizens to take the proper precautions to protect their families from fire danger. Additionally, residents can download the OCFL Alert app and sign up for OC Alert to stay abreast of rapidly-changing conditions and warnings for your area.
