Thanks to a few days of moisture, the burn ban enacted a week ago has been lifted for Minnehaha County.
"On Tuesday March 26th the Minnehaha County Commission enacted a burn ban for rural Minnehaha
County due to the extreme dry conditions," said County Emergency Manager Jason Gearman. "The recent snow, rainfall and cool temperatures have temporarily changed the fire danger conditions in Minnehaha County. The Minnehaha County Commission has decided to end the ban on burning effective immediately."
Please ensure all fire prevention practices are followed, and keep an eye on the Gazette if conditions should again deteriorate after this wet spell has ended.
