CITRUS COUNTY, Fla. — There is now a burn ban in effect for parts of Citrus County.

That means if you live in unincorporated areas, you cannot set fire to forest areas, grasslands, wild lands, marshes, vegetation, or any land in urban or rural areas, including agricultural lands.

You also cannot burn yard waste, household garbage, or other debris. The ban also includes campfires and bonfires.

Residents can still use grills or use one at a park.

The ban will automatically lift once the Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) remains below 500 for seven consecutive days.
