Lee County lifts burn ban

By Staff | Jun 2, 2023

Lee County’s burn ban that has been in effect since March 10 has been lifted.

Recent rainfall and anticipated additional precipitation led the county to not renew the ban. The county coordinated with the Lee County Fire Chiefs’ Association and the Florida Forest Service, both of which support the expiration of the burn ban.

Officials still encourage residents who need to burn to do so responsibly and follow rules for burning. Information is available from the Florida Forest Service HERE. Residents of municipalities should also check their city’s website in case more restrictive rules exist.

County officials will continue to monitor conditions.
