🚫 Burn Ban Extended in Rankin County 🚫

Rankin County officials have extended the burn ban through May 1st, or until weather conditions improve.

✔️ Contractors who follow MDEQ guidelines are still permitted to burn.
❗ All other restrictions remain in place.

We know the recent rain brought some relief, but unfortunately, it was not enough to reduce the ongoing deficit.

🙏 We ask for your continued cooperation—please refrain from all non-approved burning activities.
