Burn Ban Lifted

By

Due to improved weather conditions, the Webster County Commission has lifted the county-wide burn ban, effective August 18th, 2022.
Local City burn bans may still be in effect; city residents may wish to contact their local city hall for confirmation.
Regardless, the County Commission and local fire agencies urge you still exercise caution when doing any open burning, and that you be aware of local weather conditions.
Thank you for your cooperation!
