Burleigh and Morton Counties Lift Burn Ban

Burleigh and Morton Counties are lifting their Burn Bans which have been in effect since April. The County Commissions and emergency response officials are appreciative of the overwhelming support and adherence during the burn ban.

Landowners, equipment operators and outdoor enthusiasts are requested to take proper precautions during all open burning situations:

• Citizens should contact their local Sheriff’s Department before a controlled burn. Dispatch will be notified so resources are not unnecessarily dispatched for reports of a fire on the property when it is a controlled burn. After the burning is completed and the fire is out, again contact the Sheriff’s Department to inform them of the completion.

Burleigh County Sheriff’s Department: 222-6651

Morton County Sheriff’s Department: 667-3330

• Controlled burn needs to be physically monitored at all times. Once the fire has been started, do not walk away until the fire is completely out.

 

Be prepared if the fire gets out of hand. Call 911 immediately and have resources available to mitigate the affects (tractor, digger, shovels).

"Severe Winter Weather Awareness Week"

in North Dakota
