Burn bans; extreme fire danger; red flag warning; issuance; effective date.
HB 3083 updates Oklahoma's burn ban law to define "extreme fire danger" as either a National Weather Service Red Flag Warning or specific conditions: severe drought, low rainfall forecast, high temperatures, or elevated wildfire activity. It allows county commissioners to issue immediate burn bans when these conditions exist, requiring fire department concurrence and public notice. The bill exempts agricultural producers who submit detailed prescribed burn plans to local fire departments, including weather conditions, firebreaks, and notifications. This directly affects residents, landowners, and farmers in counties with active burn bans during extreme fire danger periods.
