🔥 TODD COUNTY COUNTY-WIDE BURN BAN — EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
Due to severe to extreme drought, extreme heat, and very low humidity, Todd County has issued an immediate countywide open burn ban. The ban will remain in effect until further notice.
🚫 Prohibited:
• Open burning of any kind
• Burning leaves, brush, grass, trash, or construction debris
• Agricultural/field burning
• Campfires and recreational fires
• Burn barrels
• Outdoor fireworks and pyrotechnics
• Welding or grinding in grassy or wooded areas unless proper fire-watch and water precautions are in place
✅ Cooking grills and contained outdoor cooking devices may be used if attended at all times and kept at least 15 feet from structures, dry vegetation, and other combustible materials.
With many of our firefighters serving as volunteers and also working in agriculture, preventing avoidable fires is especially important during this period.
Our goal is simple: protect Todd Countians, their property and farmland, and the firefighters who have to battle these fires when they occur.
Please help us prevent fires until conditions improve.
📢 Updates will be posted through Todd County Emergency Management and Todd County Fiscal Court social media and local media outlets.
