(Audubon Co) Audubon County Emergency Management says as of 12 PM today (Monday, June 2, 2025), Audubon County has lifted its burn ban. This effort is in coordination with Pottawattamie and Shelby Counties.
This decision follows Avoca Regional Rural Water’s downgrade from a red (rationing) to yellow (conservation) alert level over the weekend.
Fire Chiefs from Audubon, Brayton, Exira, and Kimballton have agreed to continue using auto aid and alternative water sources if needed. If water restrictions return to red, the burn ban may be reinstated.
Residents must notify the Audubon County Dispatch Center at 712-563-2631 before conducting any controlled burns.
All Audubon County residents are reminded to sign up for Alert Iowa, which will be used to deliver any priority or emergency messages related to community events, as well as severe weather alerts and additional emergency information.
