When You Can Burn Brush in Harrison County

In the Piney Woods, brush burning may be routine, but the safe answer is still a fresh county check. Harrison County's burn-ban page listed the ban as lifted, effective March 11, 2026, when this note was reviewed.

The Fire Marshal page carried the same plain signal: no burn ban in effect. That is useful, but it is not a forever fact. Dry weather can change the county order faster than a note like this can keep up.

Before lighting brush, check the county burn-ban page and any city rule that applies where the pile sits. A few minutes of checking beats finding out after smoke is already moving.
