| Barton County has two separate
types of burning bans. One is, simply put, an tool to be
used during emergencies. It allows the County Commission,
through the adoption of a Resolution, to ban all burning in the
County. This protects lives, property and resources when
the conditions are too dry for burning of any sort to be safe.
The second method, burn permitting, provides the government a
system for controlling burns. Although burning under these
conditions is controlled by area fire departments, the
Communications Department coordinates the effort. |
