The Governor of Nebraska has issued a statewide burn ban which suspends any previously issued burn permits due to enhanced risk of wildfires and the potential for drought-related emergencies. Please help us keep people safe by adhering to the burn ban -- this includes fire pits!
Thank you for your cooperation.

That road might look wet, but odds are pretty good that it's frozen in places, or about to freeze. There are several accidents around the region. Please treat the roads as if they are icy, even if they don't look like it.
Today, Governor Jim Pillen issued a statewide burn ban to help reduce the risk of additional wildfires across Nebraska.
The Governor’s executive order prohibiting burning will remain in effect until 11:59 p.m. on March 27.
