Recent rain allowed Sarasota County and the City of Venice to lift the burn bans issued in March by the Sarasota County Fire Department. The ban was lifted on June 9 when the Keech Bryan Drought Index dropped below 500 for seven consecutive days.
My Sun Coast (Sarasota, Fla.), June 9, 2025
A burn ban was in effect for Sarasota County as drought increased the fire danger. Outdoor burning was prohibited without a valid permit, apart from barbeque grills or pits up to 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet in height.
