We have had some calls about the burn ban. Please see below.

We've received quite a few questions lately about whether the countywide burn ban is still in effect and when it expires, so we wanted to share a quick update!

📢 The Pottawatomie Countywide Burn Ban officially expired today, Tuesday, October 20, 2026, and is no longer in effect!

While outdoor burning may resume, we want to remind everyone that just because you can burn doesn't always mean you should! Dry vegetation, low humidity, and gusty winds can quickly turn a small fire into a dangerous situation.

🔥 Before lighting that match, please remember:

✅ Check the weather and wind conditions before burning.
✅ Keep water and fire suppression equipment nearby.
✅ Never leave a fire unattended.
✅ Clear dry vegetation and other flammable materials from the surrounding area.
✅ Have a safety plan and be prepared to extinguish your fire if conditions change.

🚨 If conditions aren't safe, please DON'T BURN! No fire is worth risking your home, your neighbor's property, or the safety of our first responders.

We appreciate everyone who has reached out with questions and, more importantly, everyone who continues to do their part to keep our county safe!

🔥 Burn Smart. Burn Safe. Burn Responsibly. Let's Keep Pottawatomie County Safe!
