(Le Mars) — Due to the extreme dry conditions, and recent grass/field fires, the fire chiefs from each of the
fire departments within Plymouth County have requested the State Fire Marshal to issue a burning ban for Plymouth County. The State Fire Marshal has determined that conditions in Plymouth County are such that open burning constitutes a danger to life or property. It is ordered that no person shall engage in open burning in Plymouth County effective Tuesday, September 29th beginning at 12:00 noon. Any violation to the burn ban order will be considered as a simple misdemeanor. A couple of weeks ago, Sioux County requested to be placed in a burn ban.
