Remember: several Counties are still under a Burn Ban and with the elevated Fire danger, it only takes a spark.

Tate County Volunteer Fire Departments and Senatobia Fire Department are training at Bo Denson Towing on Extraction. And will be training on Rope Rescue later today. Thank You to our EMA Director Jim Huestis, Bo Denson Towing, multiple instructors from the Mississippi Fire Academy, Pafford EMS and all of the Volunteers for making this possible.

The question has been asked “Is Tate County still under a Burn Ban with all of the rain that we received ?”. Yes, Tate County is still under a Burn Ban until September 30th. And yes, some got rain, but 2 things to consider, 1. It was not a County Wide rain event and 2. Even if all of the County got the amount of rain that some got , it still wouldn’t be enough to lift the ban. Some got heavy rain, heavy rain runs off rapidly and does not saturate the ground. A slow, soaking rain is still needed. Tall grass dries out rapidly after a heavy rainfall event. A perfect example is, just a little while after our latest rain, Looxahoma Fire Department responded to a grass fire on the side of Highway 4e. Small fires can and will spread rapidly into Large fires especially if the wind is feeding the fire. Please respect the Burn Ban and do not Burn.
Thank You

12PM UPDATE: Sunflower County has been added, and the Burn Ban for Copiah County has been lifted.
