St. Lucie County Lifts Burn Ban
St. Lucie County Public Safety officials,
in conjunction with the St. Lucie County Fire District
and Florida Division of Forestry, have lifted the
county-wide burn ban that went into effect March 12.
Thanks to the steady stream of afternoon showers, the
drought index for St. Lucie County is currently 255, out
of 800. An index reading higher than 550 is considered
extremely dry.
