BREVARD COUNTY, FL.-- Due to ongoing dry weather conditions, Brevard County is at an increased risk for wildfires. As a result, the Brevard County Board of County Commissioners has implemented a countywide burn ban on open burning, including bonfires, campfires, trash burning, and other outdoor incineration. The Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) has reached 485 on a scale of 800, indicating near drought-like conditions and heightened fire danger. Under a County ordinance adopted in 2017, the burn ban would have automatically triggered once the KBDI reached 500, which is anticipated within the next 24 hours. The ban is in place immediately. The ban does not apply to state-authorized prescribed burns, the use of barbecue grills, or permitted public fireworks displays and sales, as allowed under state law.
