Marshall County Burn Ban Remains in Effect

The Marshall County burn ban remains in effect.

Due to prolonged dry conditions, there is an elevated risk for fires to spread quickly and become out of control.

Open burning of any kind using conventional fuel such as wood, or other combustible material is prohibited, with the exception of grills fueled by charcoal briquettes or propane. The burning of debris, such as timber or vegetation, including such debris that results from building construction activities is also prohibited.

Small campfires and fireworks are permitted according to the Marshall County Commissioners. Only larger fires such as recreational bonfires, or the burning of wooded debris and/or waste are prohibited by this ordinance.

To report a violation of the burn ban, contact the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department at 574-936-3187.
