Fire Advisory In Effect
A fire advisory is a warning that fire conditions are poor and deteriorating. Lamont County urges residents to only burn if absolutely necessary. There are no formal restrictions in place with a fire advisory. If conditions do not improve this advisory may be upgraded to a Fire Restriction or a Fire Ban with little notice.
Wildfires can start easily from most causes especially unattended campfires, cooking fires, and improper open-air burning practices with fire permits. Wildfires may become serious and difficult to control if not successfully contained while small.
- Existing fire permits are still valid (no permit extensions will be issued)
- New fire permits will be issued for small (4X4) yard debris piles only
- Safe wood campfires in approved fire pits
- Portable propane fire pits
- Gas or propane stoves and barbecues
- Charcoal and pellet barbeques
- Catalytic or infrared-style heater
- Approved and certified incinerators (for agricultural use)
If you see a fire of any type, report it immediately by calling 911. Please check continue to watch the Lamont County website for updates.
