Due to the lack of precipitation and low relative humidity levels, the Jasper Fire Department is issuing a Total Outdoor Burn Ban effective April 24th. This burn ban will be in effect until further notice.

The burn ban applies to ALL outdoor burning including campfires and recreational fires with no exceptions. The burn ban will be in effect until May 1, 2026, at which time the annual burn ban for North Georgia will go into effect. Officials are monitoring the situation closely and will publish further announcements as needed.

We need everyone to understand and be aware that we are in dangerous fire conditions, and the City of Jasper asks for your cooperation to help protect the public.
