fire ban

No campfires allowed

A fire ban is an official prohibition on lighting fires outdoors, typically imposed during dry conditions when wildfire risk is high.

Fire bans may restrict campfires, burning yard waste, or even charcoal grills: The county issued a fire ban after three weeks without rain.

Violations often carry fines.
