Morton County has imposed a fire emergency and burn ban. This decision, made by the Morton County Commission and Morton County Emergency Management, was initiated upon the recommendation of the Morton County Fire Chiefs. The ban, which began on April 10 and will remain until May 31, 2025, comes in response to ongoing drought conditions in the area.

The ban strictly prohibits all outdoor burning, including controlled burns, during this period. Residents seeking detailed information about the fire emergency can visit mortonnd.org/mortonfire.

For those interested, the Fire Emergency & Burn Ban Declaration is also accessible for review, providing further guidance and stipulations regarding the ban.
