Burn Ban in effect for Martin County and the Village of Indiantown

Due to extreme dry conditions and a lack of rainfall, an immediate burn ban has been issued for all unincorporated areas of Martin County and the Village of Indiantown. 

The county has officially surpassed 600 on the Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI)—a scale used to measure soil dryness. We are currently sitting at 645, with levels increasing by 4 to 6 points daily. 

To protect our community from wildfire risks, these measures are necessary until conditions improve.

The Ban Prohibits:

  • Recreational Fires: No campfires, fire pits, or fire pit grills.
  • Yard Waste: No burning of yard trash or vegetation.

Exemptions:

  • Grilling: Above-ground charcoal, gas, or electric grills are allowed, provided they are used away from wooded areas.
  • Official Authorizations: Any burn authorizations issued by the Florida Forest Service remain valid.

We are monitoring the KBDI levels daily and will lift these restrictions as soon as it is safe to do so. Please stay vigilant and help us keep Martin County safe!
