Cooler weather might make you think of cozy campfires or catching up on outdoor chores like burning debris — but now is not the time.

All Mobile County is experiencing drought conditions, and with very low humidity through Saturday, there just isn’t enough moisture in the air or ground to burn safely.

🚫 Don’t chance it.
Even a small flame can spread rapidly and become uncontrollable. Please hold off on any burning.

Let’s all do our part to prevent wildfires and keep our community safe.

Prepare for possible power outages if Hurricane is in your forecast this weekend. Charge your electronic devices. Get flashlights & extra batteries. Stock your pantry with nonperishable food.

If using a generator, keep it outside - at least 20 feet from the house.
