Effective September 25, 2025, a FIRE BAN is in effect for all of Mountain View County.

The FIRE BAN is in effect until further notice. This requires that ALL outdoor fires presently burning be extinguished and the lighting of ANY outdoor fires is banned. The only exceptions currently are internal household fireplaces; barbeques; and AER flaring.

A common question we receive is with regard to propane appliances, and whether they form part of the fire ban. Please note that propane appliances are deemed as acceptable for use, with a caveat to always use extreme caution for any type of ignition source during a fire ban.

All current fire permits and fireworks permits are hereby cancelled, and no new fire or fireworks permits will be issued until the Fire Ban has been lifted.

Thank you for your support in keeping our community safe!
