Yankton County has been in and out of open burn bans over the last few weeks.
Yankton County Emergency Management Director, Paul Scherschligt, says that they determine if a burn ban is necessary based on forecasts from the National Weather Service.
Scherschligt says that even though there isn’t a burn ban in place right now, he advises extreme caution with open burns.
Scherschligt says that those attempting an open burn should let the emergency management dispatch know beforehand by calling them at (605)-668-5210.
