Show Notes
Citrus and Hernando counties in Florida have lifted their burn bans due to recent rains easing drought conditions. However, Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties maintain their bans amid ongoing dry spells. Fire officials explain the Keetch-Byram Drought Index, which tracks soil and forest floor dryness. Residents can now burn yard waste, but must follow safety guidelines, including starting fires after 9 AM, putting them out before sunset, and keeping water handy. Always check city rules and be aware of drought risks.
