February 4, 2026 — Butts County Fire & Emergency Services announced that outdoor burning is prohibited today due to rain and low cloud cover across the area. Officials advised that these conditions prevent smoke from dissipating properly, which can lead to reduced air quality and pose health concerns, particularly for residents with respiratory issues. The temporary restriction is being implemented to protect public health and ensure community safety. Residents are asked to comply with the prohibition and to remain mindful of changing weather conditions.
