Effective immediately, the statewide burn ban has been lifted. County burn bans remain in effect. The Mississippi Forestry Commission announced the lift on their Facebook page.

Mississippians are encouraged to continue to use caution when burning outdoors.

The Mississippi Forestry Commission reminds residents that you are responsible for fire and smoke damage caused by a fire you set.

Don’t burn on windy days.
