Since the last post we have received some precipitation which has eased the conditions across much of the state, as a number of counties have dropped their burn bans. The following counties still have a burn ban in effect according to the State Fire Marshal’s Website:
Buena Vista, Cass, Clay, Dickinson, Emmet, Ida, Lyon, O’Brien, Osceola, Plymouth, Sac, Sioux
An additional 12 counties have been placed under burn bans until further notice, bringing the total up to 27. The current list includes the following Iowa counties: Bremer, Buena Vista, Butler, Calhoun, Cherokee, Chickasaw, Clay, Dickinson, Emmet, Fayette, Floyd, Greene, Hancock, Howard, Ida, Jasper, Lyon, Marion, Marshall, O’Brien, Osceola, Plymouth, Sioux, Story, Webster, Winnebago, and Wright.
Warm and breezy conditions combined with low humidity has prompted the National Weather Service offices in Sioux Falls and Omaha to issue Red Flag Warnings for much of Western Iowa with these conditions expected to continue through tomorrow. Additionally fire department officials in several counties have enacted bans on open burning until further notice. Counties currently under a burn ban include: Buena Vista, Butler, Cherokee, Clay, Dickinson, Ida, Jasper, Marshall, O’Brien, Osceola, Plymouth, Sioux, and Story.
1 PM Update:Â Open Burning prohibited in Webster county as of 11 AM this morning.
