April 20, 2026: **Mandatory Burn Ban in Effect for Marion County**

The Marion County Board of County Commissioners has issued a countywide mandatory burn ban effective as of 5 p.m. on Monday, April 20. This action reflects increasingly hazardous environmental conditions of relatively low humidity and a forecast of high, sustained winds over the next 7 to 10 days.

The current Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) is 529, with recent values ranging from a low of 394 to a high of 637, reflecting significantly dry conditions throughout the region. In addition, neighboring counties are experiencing active wildfires demonstrating rapid and aggressive fire growth.

Weather forecasts include Red Flag conditions in Marion County, driven by relatively low humidity and sustained high winds, further elevating the risk of wildfire ignition and spread. County officials determined the burn ban is necessary to protect the health, safety, and property of residents.

Under the burn ban, all outdoor burning is prohibited, with the following exceptions:
• Outdoor cookers and grills may be used provided they are attended at all times by a responsible adult while in operation.

Marion County Fire Rescue urges residents to take the following precautions during this period of heightened fire risk:
• Postpone outdoor burning activities until the burn ban is lifted.
• Dispose of yard debris at one of Marion County’s 18 recycling centers as a safe alternative to backyard burning. For locations and information, call 352-671-8465.
• Report arson or suspicious activity immediately to law enforcement.
• Do not discard cigarette butts from vehicles.
• Use caution when operating lawn mowers or other equipment that could produce sparks.
• Call 911 immediately if you see a fire or a large column of smoke.
Weather conditions and wildfire risk will continue to be monitored until the burn ban can be lifted.
