Sorry for any confusion, but the burn ban is still in effect in Kimball County per the 3 fire chiefs even though the statewide burn ban has been lifted. Open burning of any sorts is not allowed. No burning of trash, campfires, fire pits, etc

Over the last couple of weeks, Nebraska has experienced some of the largest fires in its history, destroying human life, livestock, farms, ranches, and homes in a matter of hours. Whole towns evacuated. Fire is no stranger to western Nebraska; however, with the drought persisting, this year is shaping up to be one of the worst on record.

With that being said, we are asking people in our area and across the state to start planning ahead for safety and preparedness. Is your home fire-wise? Are you fire-ready? Do you have an evacuation plan? Have you recently watered the grass and trees around your property?

Heartfelt gratitude to the Garden County Fire District & Morrill Fire Emergency Command Staff for your exceptional hospitality and vigilant oversight throughout the past week! Special thanks also to Kirk Schoenemann for generously providing a haven for us to revive our trucks when they began to freeze up!

Proud of our department and the work they have put in on this fire since Thursday night being able to assist with water as well a grass rig with several rotations of firefighters! It takes a village to be able to keep protection on our home district while at the same time providing units/personnel for mutual aid.
Thank you Walter Kielian, Paul Sweet, Jason Tyler, Jason Hickman, Mikayla Lee, Logan Lee, Jordan Overland for your time and to our other members that protected us at home as well!

03/14/2026

Effective immediately the Governor has issued an Executive Order that bans the issuance of Open Burn Permits for 14 days. The Executive Order prohibits any fire chief or person designated by the fire chief from granting an open burn permit for any purpose. Any existing burn permit that has not been completed is null and void and open burning is not permitted for 14 consecutive days beginning now.

This order will be reviewed prior to its termination to determine the need to extend the ban. Further information will be provided prior to that date.

During this time no burn permits will be issued, and any previous permit issued are void.
