Leon County has declared a Local State of Emergency and issued a temporary countywide burn ban due to ongoing extreme drought conditions. The action is intended to reduce the fire risk countywide and protect lives and property.
“Out of an abundance of caution and in response to the extreme drought conditions we are facing, this temporary burn ban is an essential step to protect lives, homes, and property across Leon County,” said Leon County Commission Chairman Christian Caban. “We are asking everyone to do their part by following this guidance so our first responders can best keep our community safe during these conditions.”
The burn ban takes effect at 8 a.m. on Saturday, November 22, 2025, and remains in place through 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, unless extended or rescinded by subsequent action.
