Mississippi Burn Ban Alert | Jackson News

Mississippi’s Jefferson Davis County is under a strict burn ban from August 13th to September 13th due to a dangerous dry spell and recent wildfires—18 fires burned over 100 acres alone. With more than 100 fires and 720 acres scorched statewide in just August, officials warn that without rain, even a tiny spark can ignite a massive blaze. Whether you’re barbecuing, driving, or working outdoors, stay vigilant: secure trailer chains, don’t toss debris, and let coals cool completely. This isn’t just about one county—more are likely to follow if conditions don’t improve. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
