The Florida Forest Service will not issue any outdoor burn authorizations in several central Florida counties on Saturday, including Hernando, Pasco, and Citrus Counties.
This decision affects residents in Brooksville, Spring Hill, Dade City, Hudson, Weeki Wachee, Zephyrhills, New Port Richey, Inverness, and Crystal River. The Florida Forest Service typically issues burn permits for prescribed burns, which help maintain healthy forests and reduce wildfire risks. However, weather conditions and other factors can lead to the suspension of burn authorizations.
Residents can check the Florida Forest Service website or contact their local office for more information on burn permits and restrictions.
