🔥 FRIENDLY REMINDER: THE BURN PILE CAN WAIT

Open burning is currently closed in Elko County.

In the last week, fire crews have responded to five fires caused by unauthorized burning. That is five fires we could have done without.

We know the weeds are annoying and the pile has been staring at you, but right now is not the time to light it.

No open burning means no open burning. Please help us keep small fires from becoming big problems.
