Burn Bans

Most of Fire District #1 falls into what the county classifies as an "unincorporated" area. The county requires that burn permits be issued for ANY outside burning in unincorporated areas. The city of Edgerton and New Century Air Center are exceptions to this as they are cities and fall under local ordinance. Burn permits are FREE and only require a phone call to the Fire District to obtain. There are several factors which may not allow us to issue permits on a given day. Please feel free to contact any Fire District station for complete information on open burning policies in the county or city ordinances.

The Kansas Forestry Service provides a "Rangeland Fire Danger Map" on their web site which we check every morning. If the index is in the "EXTREME" for our region, no burn permits will be issued. You will be notified of ANY burn ban when you call to obtain your permit.
