On April 24, 2025, the Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) for Brevard County reached 500. Because of this, Brevard County implemented a ban on open burning pursuant to County Code Section 50. This includes campfires, bonfires, trash-burning and other similar open incineration. Prohibitions do not include state-permitted burns, use of barbeque grills, authorized public fireworks displays and fireworks sales which are authorized by state law. The Palm Bay Fire Rescue Fire Chief has imposed a burn ban within the city, effective April 24th, 2025, until further notice.
Traffic signals aid our citizens while driving and help to reduce accidents. They facilitate traffic flow and help to reduce stress. We understand that when one of these signals is malfunctioning, or is not working at all, it can bring about unnecessary frustration and increase stress. We have a rotating schedule of testing and observing the functions of these lights. However, we can not always be there to detect one that is malfunctioning. Therefore, we rely on you to let us know as soon as possible if you notice a problem with any traffic lights or street lights.
