Mayes County Burn Ban in Effect | Tulsa News

Mayes County’s gone all-in on wildfire prevention with an immediate burn ban—no open fires, no trash burning, nothing that could spark disaster. With drought conditions worsening and rain scarce, fire chiefs and weather experts are united in this urgent move. The only safe cooking option? Gas or electric grills on fire-resistant surfaces. Professional fireworks? Allowed—if approved by state and local authorities. Enforced by police and troopers, violations carry fines up to $500, jail time, or both. The ban starts August 31 and lasts two weeks, but could extend—or lift—based on weather. Stay safe, stay compliant.
