O’Brien County requests State Fire Marshal lift burn ban Friday at 10 a.m.
Summary
The board voted to request that the State Fire Marshal lift the county burn ban on Nov. 5, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. The motion passed unanimously; the minutes record the requested lift time but provide no supporting fire-safety data.
The O’Brien County Board of Supervisors voted to request that the State Fire Marshal lift the county burn ban on Nov. 5, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. The motion was "Moved by Friedrichsen, seconded by Vanden Hull" and the minutes state the motion "carried by all ayes."
The minutes record the requested lift time but do not include the county’s rationale, any local fire-danger assessments, or contingency plans. Because the board’s action was a request to a state official rather than a unilateral county determination, final authority to lift the ban rests with the State Fire Marshal.
