ST. LUCIE COUNTY – Recent rains have helped lower the risk of wildfires, causing St. Lucie County Public Safety officials, in conjunction with the St. Lucie County Fire District, to lift the county-wide burn ban that was put into effect on Feb. 7.

The Keetch-Byram Drought Index (or drought index) for St. Lucie County has dropped from the extreme risk for wildfire range (650-699) to the moderate risk range (450-499).

While recent rains have helped lower the drought index, public safety officials urge residents to continue to be mindful of dry conditions.
