MITCHELL, SD (Mitchell Now) — Officials in Davison County have lifted the countywide burn ban, allowing residents to resume open burning under controlled conditions.
Authorities caution that while the ban is no longer in effect, environmental conditions remain dry enough for fires to spread quickly. Residents planning to burn are strongly encouraged to take necessary safety precautions to prevent accidental wildfires.
Before starting any controlled burn, individuals must contact local dispatch at 605-995-8400 to report their plans. This step helps emergency services monitor fire activity and respond quickly if needed.
Officials remind residents to stay vigilant, monitor weather conditions, and ensure all fires are fully extinguished after burning.
