Jefferson County Emergency Ordinance 2000-66 was established to authorize the county judge to declare a ban on open burning under certain conditions and circumstances in unincorporated areas of Jefferson County and providing for penalties for violations of said burn ban.

Due to current weather conditions and the risk for wildfires, a BURN BAN has been issued for all of Jefferson County including the citizens of Pine Bluff, White Hall, Humphrey, Sherrill, Altheimer, Wabbaseka, and Redfield.

This BURN BAN is in effect immediately, March 19, 2025, and will continue until further notice pursuant to Jefferson County Court Order No. 2025-14.
