‼️‼️‼️BURN BAN‼️‼️‼️
Alcorn County is now under a local emergency burn ban at this time March 23rd 2026 it will expire April 6th 2026 at midnight. Upon which time we will reevaluate if it needs to be extended.

Violating a burn ban in Mississippi is illegal. Anyone who knowingly burns during a ban can be charged with a misdemeanor and face fines ranging from $100 to $500.  In addition, if a fire escapes and causes damage, the individual can be held financially liable and in severe cases, could face jail time.  Burn bans are put in place to protect lives, property, and first responders—ignoring them puts the entire community at risk.
