Burning Ban

UNDATED, Iowa---The State Fire Marshall has issued a ban on open burning in Boone County until further notice. The ban took affect at 10:00 Tuesday morning. The action followed visits with Boone County Fire Chiefs, whose departments have been responding daily to numerous grass fires. A Burn Ban was issued for Story County Monday. Boone Fire Chief Justin Adams says the open burning of yard waste in Boone will not be permitted until the ban is lifted. He says the Council may be asked to make an adjustment to the Spring Open Burning days, April 15th to May 15th.
