The Burn Ban the Marshall County Commissioners issued on October 9 remains in effect.
Citizens and businesses are to continue holding off on burning until conditions improve and the ban is rescinded.
The commissioners implemented the Marshall County burn ban, following the recommendation of the county’s Emergency Management Agency and local fire departments.
Due to prolonged dry conditions, there is an elevated risk of fires spreading quickly and becoming out of control. Marshall County has already experienced several recent grass fires during the ban.
The Marshall County burn ban does not permit burning of any kind using conventional fuel, such as wood or other combustible material, except grills fueled by charcoal briquettes or propane. Burning debris, such as timber or vegetation, and debris from building construction activities is not permitted.
According to the Marshall County ordinance, small campfires and fireworks are permitted. However, the ordinance prohibits only larger recreational bonfires or the burning of wooded debris and waste.
Contact the Marshall County Sheriff's Department at 574-936-3187 to report a burn ban violation.
When conditions improve after a significant rainfall, the Marshall County Commissioners will rescind the burn ban.
