North Port Outdoor Burn Ban Effective Immediately

Outdoor burn ban in effect for the City of North Port Published on November 05, 2025 burn ban graphic In response to extreme drought conditions and a heightened threat of wildfires, North Port Fire Rescue has enacted a citywide Outdoor Burn Ban, effective immediately under City Ordinance 26-28. The ban prohibits all bonfires, campfires, and outdoor burning of yard debris within city limits. Grills (both gas and charcoal) remain permitted; however, residents are urged to use extreme caution. Fire pits and cooking pits are not allowed under the current ban. Current conditions contributing to this decision include total rainfall measuring 10-25% below average, a Drought Index of 610 (on a scale of 0-800), and a fire danger level rated as High to Very High. No significant rain is expected in the near future. The National Weather Service has characterized this condition as abnormally dry. The burn ban will remain in effect until further notice. North Port Fire Rescue urges everyone to help protect lives, homes, and natural areas during this time. To report illegal outdoor burning, please contact North Port Fire Rescue at 941-240-8150. In an emergency, call 911. For updates and additional safety information, follow North Port Fire Rescue on official channels. »
