Grand Forks County burn ban extension

By Doug Barrett Apr 7, 2021 | 8:52 AM

The Grand Forks County Commission took action Tuesday to extend the Fire Emergency Declaration and a burn ban until further notice.  Drought conditions have created a high fire danger index throughout much of the region.  The action extends the ban signed seven days ago that expired on Monday.  Emergency Management Director Kari Geolz says the move coincides with a statewide emergency signed by the governor on April 1st.  The order includes recreational fires in the city of Grand Forks. The ban will be in place until conditions improve.
