Geary County Emergency Management has issued a reminder that although we currently cannot burn in Geary County due to the winds, this is a friendly reminder that during the month of April only prescribed Agriculture burning will be authorized. Since we are in the Flint Hills, State law does not allow burning of brush piles during April. Those burning brush piles can be fined for violations.
As always, you must call to ask permission and return a call when you have completed your burn. Person(s) responsible for the fire shall remain in continuous attendance with the burning operation and have the ability to extinguish the fire.
Please refer to your Burn permit informational sheet or contact the Emergency Management Office with questions.
