(Guthrie Center, Iowa) – A Burn Ban that had been in-place for Guthrie County since February 24th, was lifted, effective 10-a.m. today (Monday, March 25).  Rescinding the Burn Ban came at the request of Jeremy Cooper, representing each fire department having all or part of their fire districts within Guthrie County, and was approved by Dan Wood with the State Fire Marshal’s Office.

The only burn ban in effect for an area county, was in Harrison County, where the ban (which was implemented Sept. 29, 2023) remains in effect until further notice.
