Effective immediately, the following activities are prohibited in Floyd County:

- Open burning of any kind, using wood or other combustible materials, with the exception of cooking grills fueled by charcoal briquettes or gas grills;
- The burning of timber, vegetation or construction materials;
- The use of burn barrels
- The use of ALL fireworks.
This will automatically renew each seven-day period until rescinded by either the commissioners or the Floyd County EMA Office.
