Emergency burn ban in effect in Franklin County


Please be advised that Franklin County, including the City of Apalachicola, is currently under an emergency burn ban. The ban was imposed this morning by County officials due to extreme drought conditions countywide.

During this local state of emergency, it is unlawful for any person to ignite or otherwise cause an open fire. This ban shall include, but not limited to the use of fireworks, sparklers and burning in a barrel.

This ban shall not include cooking on grills outside, but grills must be attended at all times and all wood and charcoal grills should be completely extinguished before leaving.
