BURN BAN:
Union County Burn Ban Extension
The active Union County Burn Ban and local state of emergency have been extended until 3/27/26. Union County is expected to receive almost zero rainfall over the next 2 weeks, so we expect drought conditions to worsen before the next burn ban extension deadline. A normal amount of Spring rainfall will not be enough to pull us out of this drought, so we are preparing for a Spring / Summer fire season for the first time since 2008.
This burn ban prohibits outdoor burning, with the exception of attended and monitored cooking equipment (gas or charcoal grill). This burn ban also prohibits the use of fireworks and any other explosive or combustible compounds, including flares. See attached Union County Burn Ban Extension for additional details. We ask all residents and visitors to remain vigilant during this period. Please exercise caution with any outdoor activities, stay mindful of fire safety, and report any signs of smoke or fire immediately to 911. Your cooperation is essential in helping protect Union County. Together, we can reduce the risk and keep Union County safe until conditions improve.
