Burn ban extended thru April 17th. Thank you for your cooperation.

𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐲 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐁𝐚𝐧

After reviewing Alachua County’s current wildland fire conditions and in consultation with state officials, the mandatory countywide burn ban has been extended and will remain in effect through April 17, 2026.

With no appreciable rain over the past week, Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) numbers throughout the county remain largely unchanged and the threat of wildfire danger remains high.
Residents are urged to exercise extreme caution as severe drought conditions continue to significantly increase wildfire risk across our community.

Locally, dry soils, stressed vegetation, and elevated fire danger have created hazardous conditions countywide. As a result, a countywide burn ban remains in effect.

The burn ban prohibits all unauthorized open burning, including:
🔸 Campfires and bonfires
🔸 Unpermitted controlled burns
🔸 Burning yard or household trash
🔸 Burning construction or organic debris
🔸 Igniting fireworks
​
Only limited exemptions apply, such as the use of small barbecue grills or activities conducted under a valid state-issued burn authorization.

Officials emphasize that unauthorized burning during the ban is illegal. Anyone who violates the burn ban may be held financially liable for all damages caused by a resulting fire, including the full costs of wildfire suppression and extinguishment efforts. These costs can be substantial.

Residents are urged to:
🔸 Fully comply with the countywide burn ban.
🔸 Avoid any activity that could create sparks or open flames.
🔸 Properly extinguish and dispose of ci******es and smoking materials.
🔸 Report smoke or wildfires immediately by calling 911. Early reporting can prevent a small fire from becoming a major wildfire.

Conditions will continue to be monitored closely, and updates will be provided as needed. Residents are encouraged to sign up for emergency alerts at AlertAlachua.com.

Keeping the Tibbetts family, his crew and all members of JRFD in our thoughts and prayers.

This morning, active duty Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department Engineer Colton Tibbetts passed away.

He was a beloved son, brother, friend, and a dedicated firefighter who served our community with pride.

Colton followed in his father Brian’s footsteps when he joined JFRD three years ago. In November, he was promoted to Engineer at just 22 years old, a reflection of his commitment, work ethic, and the firefighter he was becoming.

We ask that you keep the Tibbetts family, his crew, and all members of JFRD in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
