Brookings County declares fire danger emergency, bans open burning without permit
Summary
The commission adopted Resolution #26-30 under SDCL 7-18A-8, prohibiting open burning in unincorporated Brookings County without a prior written permit, effective immediately.
The Brookings County Board of County Commissioners voted to adopt Resolution #26-30, declaring a fire danger emergency and prohibiting open burning in the unincorporated areas of the county without a prior written permit. The resolution cites dry conditions and invokes SDCL 7-18A-8 to declare the action necessary "for the immediate preservation of public safety" and states the prohibition applies "until this resolution be otherwise rescinded by the Brookings County Board of County Commissioners."
The motion to adopt the resolution passed on a roll call vote with all commissioners recorded as voting "aye." The resolution references Ordinance #2009-02 for the definition of open burning; it took effect immediately upon passage and will remain in force until rescinded.
