The chair of the Board of County Commissioners announced on July 15, 2025, that the county is under a partial fire ban and asked residents to review the county website for the applicable rules and safety guidance.

The announcement came during the meeting’s announcements section. The chair said, “we are in a partial fire ban,” and asked residents to “read on our website all the rules and regulations with the county fire ban and be cognizant of fire safety right now.” The chair added, “We don't need to repeat what happened last October.”

The chair opened the announcements without formal action or a recorded vote; the statement was informational and no motion was made. No public comments were recorded on the fire ban during the meeting.

The county did not specify in the meeting transcript which specific activities are restricted under the partial ban or when the restriction will be lifted; the chair directed residents to the county website for the full text of the ban and its rules.

Separately, the meeting proceeded to other agenda items, including a liquor-license transfer. There were no follow-up actions recorded on the fire ban during the session.
