Do you have a fire extinguisher in your home or business? You should! While the #1 priority in a fire is for everyone to get out safely, if a fire is small and contained, a fire extinguisher can be used to slow or even extinguish a fire before the fire department arrives. Always call 911 and ensure everyone is out safely as your first priority, but a small, multi-purpose fire extinguisher in your home can be easily used to slow a fire. Cooking is the leading cause of home fires nationwide, and an extinguisher can help if one starts! (Do NOT use water on grease! An extinguisher is what you need for a cooking fire involving grease!). For more tips on using fire extinguishers, check out the comment section.

Wherever you live and whatever your occupation, this is basic training everyone should have. Spend a little time now so you know how to respond when it really matters.

🔥 Burn Ban Reminder🔥

Despite the recent rains, Morton County remains under a burn ban.

While some areas received beneficial rainfall, portions of Morton County did not receive as much rain and remain dry. Conditions can vary significantly across the county, so please don’t assume that recent rainfall means it is safe to burn.

Please continue to follow the burn ban and refrain from outdoor burning until the ban has officially been lifted.

Thank you for helping protect our communities, homes, property, and first responders. 🚫🔥

Open burning is prohibited, including:
-Campfires
-Controlled burns
-Agricultural burning
-Outdoor fireplaces and wood-burning chimineas
-Fireworks (aerial and ground)
-Garbage/pit burning
-Charcoal and wood-fired grills/smokers
-Outdoor welding and hot work

Gas grills, gas patio fireplaces, gas camp stoves, and similar gas-fired devices are allowed ONLY if they are:
✔️ On a hard, non-organic surface
✔️ At least 15 feet from vegetation
✔️ Used with a fire extinguisher or water source readily available

Please do your part to help prevent wildland fires by ensuring trailer chains are not dragging and avoiding parking or driving on dry grass.

Violations of the Fire Emergency and Burn Ban are a Class B Misdemeanor and may result in penalties of up to 30 days in jail and a $1,500 fine.
