Pulaski County EMA and the Commissioners signed a disaster emergency declaration where they found that the county is at risk of widespread fire hazard because of ongoing wind conditions.

Open burning of any kind using conventional fuel such as wood, or other combustible material, with the exception of grills fueled by charcoal briquettes or propane is prohibited under this burn ban. The burning of debris, such as timber or vegetation, including such debris that results from building construction activities is prohibited under this burn ban.

Campfires and other recreation fires, unless enclosed, is prohibited under this burning ban. Campfires are acceptable only in a fire ring and only if it is supervised.

Residents are strongly encouraged to refrain from using firework devices.

All residents are called upon and directed to comply with the necessary emergency measures and to obey and comply with the lawful directions of properly identified officers.

The burn ban in Pulaski County is in effect until further notice.
