(Le Mars, IA) — Open burning is now banned in two northwest Iowa counties and one in the southwest. Plymouth County was added to the list today (Tuesday) at the request of Le Mars Fire Rescue Chief Dave Schipper. He says they’ve not had any significant rain in the past several days and drought conditions persist. Schipper says the dry conditions will likely lead to some field fires with combines — but they want to be sure there are not any accidental fires started. Sioux County had its burn ban enacted last week and it’s still in place. There were open burning bans issued recently for six southern Iowa counties, but only Fremont County‘s open burning ban remains in place following some rain.
