BURN BAN REMINDER – EFFECTIVE MAY 1st 🔥🚫


Starting May 1st, the annual outdoor burning ban goes into effect across 54 counties in Georgia and will remain in place through September 30th.

🌿 Outdoor burning of natural vegetation is only allowed October 1st – April 30th each year.

Even though permits are no longer required for burning hand-piled natural vegetation, the following Spalding County Outdoor Burning Rules still apply:

* Must be attended at all times by a responsible adult
*Must have an adequate extinguishing method on hand (hose, dirt, sand, extinguisher, etc.)
*Must be at least 50 ft from structures (or 15 ft if in an approved container)
*NO burning of garbage, plastics, tires, treated wood, or construction debris
*Fires must be fully extinguished by nightfall

You are responsible for your fire. Escaped fires may result in citations in addition to liability for damages.

PLEASE BE AWARE: Agricultural, silviculture, and land clearing burns still require a permit and must be coordinated with the Georgia Forestry Commission (770-227-5522)
