McKenzie County Fire Emergency and Burn Ban Guidance

McKenzie County Fire Emergency and burn ban remains in place throughout the year, but only takes effect when the ND Rangeland Fire Danger Rating is in the High, Very High or Extreme category or a RED FLAG WARNING has been issued for McKenzie County.  Since the daily rating changes frequently, it is prudent for us to simply keep the fire emergency and burn ban in place and use the daily fire rating to guide burning activity.

Burn Permits are required year round and requires the approval of the local fire department AND the Upper Missouri District Health Unit (they issue the actual permit). Please call our office for more information and if you have questions.
