Just in.. please consult with your local fire chiefs prior to any burning.

Update on Burn Ban: Governor Jim Pillen has lifted the recent burn ban. Burn permits can now be issued by local fire chiefs or authorized staff.

The move comes as drought and wildfire risks across the state have eased.

Proud of our community for sending resources to help in Peru and proud of the coordination county wide to have fire coverage available!

This is familiar as we approach the anniversary of our own large Lake Waconda fire.
