County lifts burn restrictions

Fire restrictions are no longer in place across Crook County. As of Saturday, Fire Warden Doug Leis and the Crook County Commissioners have rescinded the open burn restrictions that have been in place for the last several months.

Crook County Fire continues to warn residents that caution is necessary when doing outdoor building and it remains each individual’s responsibility to make sure a fire doesn’t get away from them and make sure to monitor any fire that’s started carefully.

Individuals can still be held liable for damages and suppression costs if a fire does escape.
