Residents in certain areas should be aware of restrictions on outdoor fires. A map is available to help individuals determine if their location is under a burn ban. Some counties are exempt from these restrictions, including several in the local area.

Fines can be imposed on those who violate burn bans in their county. The penalty for such a violation is a Class C misdemeanor, which can result in a fine. Further information on burn bans can be found through local news sources, which provide details on affected areas and exemptions.
