MOORE HAVEN, FL. -- The Glades County Board of County Commissioners determines that emergency conditions exist in Glades County, which warrants the banning of all outdoor burning as a result of extreme drought and other weather conditions.
The suspended/banned outdoor burning includes burning yard waste, the private use and discharge of fireworks and sparklers, and the use of any other outdoor ignition source.
This burn ban is in effect until cancelled by the Glades County Board of County Commissioners.
You are allowed to BBQ in a grill or container and have small recreational or camp fires if it is in a container as well. Please be aware of your surroundings and environmental factors (wind, dry ground, brush, etc…) and use caution at all times.
Note: This Ban does not affect fires authorized and permitted by the Florida Forest Service. The Florida Forest Service number for burn permits is 863-467-3221.
