The Marshall County Commissioners have terminated the countywide Burn Ban, effective immediately.
On September 16, the commissioners imposed the burn ban due to Marshall County’s moderate drought conditions and the extended period with no rainfall. Thanks to this weekend’s rainfall and the potential for more rain this week, it is now safer to burn.
Regardless of weather conditions or burn ban status, please exercise caution when conducting outdoor burning. Additionally, be courteous to neighbors who are sensitive to smoke.
The Marshall County Commissioners, Marshall County Emergency Management Agency, and local fire departments are grateful to those who respected the burn ban, postponed their burning plans, and helped spread awareness of the ban when it was issued.
