Burn bans were lifted in Santa Rosa and Escambia counties in Florida. Around 2 weeks ago, Santa Rosa issued a burn ban due to continuous dry conditions. This ban came after the massive Five Mile Swamp Fire in Milton. Escambia County soon followed suit as well as those same dry conditions fueled more fires. “We appreciate the public’s diligence during the burn ban to keep our community safe,” Interim Fire Chief Paul Williams said. “It is very important to follow the outdoor burning regulations that have been in place to prevent a fire from getting out of control. Please do not hesitate to call the fire department if you have any questions. We are happy to help,” says Escambia County.
