Press Release 03 25 2025
Burn BanOn Tuesday March 25, 2025 Minnehaha County Commission enacted a burn ban for rural Minnehaha County. This was enacted due to the extreme dry conditions in Minnehaha County. According to the National Weather Service Minnehaha County and surrounding areas are listed in a moderate drought. The Grassland Fire Index for Minnehaha is classified as “high.” Volunteer Rural Fire agencies have responded to numerous grass fires in the month of March. Many of these fires were caused by open burns becoming out of control. This burn ban will be effective until Minnehaha County receives significant rainfall or the grassfire index changes. The Minnehaha County Commission, Rural Fire Chiefs and Emergency Management will monitor these conditions to determine when the burn ban should be rescinded.
This ordinance prohibits open burning. The exception is the burning of such substance in a container sufficient so as to prohibit the escape of any of the burning substance, or any sparks, flames or hot ashes from the container. A violation of this ordinance is a class II Misd. This ordinance does not include municipalities within Minnehaha County. The ordinance is attached with this press release which provides more details.
