Florida’s dry season, running from November to May, increases fire risk due to low humidity and reduced rainfall. Burn bans are in effect for the Tampa Bay area, restricting outdoor burning, fireworks, and fire pits while allowing controlled grilling. Safety measures include removing flammable materials, clearing debris, storing firewood away from structures, and ensuring emergency responders can locate homes. Residents are urged to follow guidelines to mitigate fire dangers during the dry season.
