Published August 12, 2025

If you were planning a smoky backyard hangout or dreaming of fireworks by the lake, many counties have pulled the plug — effective immediately, no fires, no sparklers, and yes... even no Spiedini. 😭

This includes all recreational fires, including those used for cooking purposes outdoors.

Rated appliances, such as propane and natural gas barbecues, are still permitted at this time.

The fire ban will remain in effect until further notice.
