At the request of the Scott County Emergency Management Agency, the Iowa State Fire Marshall's Office has rescinded the BURN BAN for Scott County, effective at 12:00 p.m. on October 26, 2015. Recent precipitation and weather conditions have improved to the extent that the high risk for fire in areas with brush, crops and other vegetation has diminished. The National Weather Services currently classifies the "Iowa Grassland Fire Danger Index" for Scott County as "low".
The Scott County Emergency Management Agency, along with all local fire districts and Fire Chiefs, would like to thank the community for their patience, cooperation and understanding during this period of increased fire risk. By communicating and working together as a community during times like this, we can mitigate and reduce the risk of dangerous and potentially life threatening fire emergencies - Thank-you.
Questions may be directed to Dave Donovan, Scott County Emergency Management Coordinator, 563-484-3050 or david.donovan@scottcountyiowa.com.
