Charlotte County lifts nearly month-long outdoor burn ban

Braun, Michael

Charlotte County has rescinded a ban on all outdoor burning.

On Tuesday, the Board of County Commissioners voted to lift the burn ban during their regular commission meeting.

Recent rains were enough to lessen drought-like conditions in Charlotte and surrounding areas. Burn bans were lifted recently in Lee, Hendry and Sarasota counties. A ban remains in Glades and Collier counties.
