The lack of rainfall led Seminole County officials to enact a burn ban prohibiting open fires, including bonfires, campfires and the burning of vegetative debris. The ban took effect as the Keetch-Byram Drought Index reached or exceeded 500. The forecast is for dry weather. Property owners were urged to clear trash and dead vegetation from their yards.
