Due to ongoing extreme fire weather and drought conditions, the Pickens County Fire Chief and Fire Marshal’s Office have made the decision to implement a burn ban effective immediately.

This burn ban will remain in place until October 1.

At this time, outdoor burning is prohibited with the exception of small, controlled fires such as those used for cooking, warming, and recreational bonfires. All allowable fires must be attended at all times and conducted safely.

This decision has been made in the interest of public safety. Current conditions, combined with limited available wildfire suppression resources in our region, significantly increase the risk of uncontrolled fire spread.

This burn ban is subject to change should weather conditions change.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping protect our community.
