Mountain View County has issued a Fire Restriction which affects the entire county due to the current and forecasted conditions. The Fire Restriction is in effect until further notice. This requires that all outdoor fires presently burning, be extinguished and the lighting of any outdoor fires is banned. Open fires; fireworks; recreational fires not contained in an acceptable fire pit; and permit burning fires are prohibited. The only exceptions currently are acceptable burning barrels; acceptable fire pits; acceptable outdoor fireplaces; barbecues; household fireplaces; and AER flaring. All current fire permits and fireworks permits are hereby cancelled, and no new fire or fireworks permits will be issued until the Fire Ban has been lifted.
