The Grant County Commissioners voted May 21 to rescind an earlier burn restriction and enact a scaled burn restriction effective May 21 through Nov. 1, 2025.
Chairman Alton Zenker presided as Jared Fischer presented the proposed scaled restriction and Commissioner Marty Meyer moved to rescind the prior restriction; Commissioner Al Roy Hochhalter seconded. The board recorded roll-call votes of Meyer—aye, Hochhalter—aye and Zenker—aye. Immediately afterward Meyer moved and Hochhalter seconded enactment of the new scaled burn restriction; the motion passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.
The burn restriction is in effect beginning May 21, 2025 and continues through November 1, 2025. The meeting minutes do not specify enforcement procedures or penalties; county staff presented the restriction to the board but the record does not include a detailed enforcement plan.
The action is intended to address fire risk during the county’s burn season. No public hearing or further public comment on the restriction is recorded in the minutes. The board continued with its regular agenda after the votes.
