Cleveland County remains under a burn ban issued by the state and the County Fire Marshal's Office. To help keep our community safe, please be aware of the following guidelines:

- Prohibited Activities: This ban includes campfires, debris burning, fire pits, burn barrels, and fireworks.
- Outdoor Cooking: Portable gas stoves or gas grills are recommended for outdoor cooking while the ban remains in effect.

We are all hoping for significant rain soon, not only to reduce the fire danger but to support our local farmers as well. While we certainly enjoy our campfires, your cooperation in following these restrictions is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for helping to keep our community safe.
