Burn Ban Now In Effect For Clay County Until Further Notice

August 20, 2020

(Spencer)– A burn ban is now in effect for Clay county due to the ongoing dry conditions. It went into effect at 9:00 am this (Thurs.) morning and will continue until further notice.

The ban was issued by the State Fire Marshal’s Office and is based on a request it received from county officials.

The ban declares that open burning under current conditions “constitutes a danger to life or property”.

Violation of the order is a simple misdemeanor.
