At the request of the Scott County Emergency Management Agency, the Iowa State Fire Marshall's Office has issued a BURN BAN for Scott County, effective at 3:00 p.m. on October 15, 2015. Current, continuing dry conditions, the lack of predicted precipitation and the abundance of combustible vegetation present an unusual on-going threat for fire in Scott County.
This burn ban shall remain in effect until such time that conditions improve and local fire officials deem the threat to have diminished and conditions to have returned to normal. See attached copy of the proclamation from the State Fire Marshall. Questions may be directed to Dave Donovan, Scott County Emergency Management Coordinator, 563-484-3050 or david.donovan@scottcountyiowa.com.
