With the local fire danger lowered to “moderate” area fire officials have lifted a ban on recreational burning which means area residents can again enjoy campfires and charcoal cooking in addition to gas or propane fueled appliances and wood fueled appliances with an enclosed flame.
After consulting with Jefferson County fire chiefs, the Jefferson County Fire Marshal determined that the fire threat had subsided after atmospheric and field conditions lowered to an acceptable level. Accordingly, the Jefferson County Fire Marshal canceled the prohibition on recreational fires throughout the county effective Sept. 30.
The ban began on June 15, when the Jefferson County Fire Marshal declared that all recreational burning was banned throughout all of Jefferson County. This declaration was to remain in effect until atmospheric and field conditions changed such that the threat of fire had subsided.
The prohibition on burning for land clearing and debris burning remains in effect until at least Oct. 15.
