Temporary burn ban lifted in Nebraska State Parks

By Submitted

(KLZA)-- The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission has lifted the temporary statewide open fire ban at state park and wildlife management areas.

The decision follows recent rain across portions of the state, where additional precipitation is anticipated this weekend.

Some Nebraska parks and counties that have not received recent precipitation still may have local, individual burn bans in place. Guests should call the park they are visiting prior to arrival to confirm the local ban status. Find contact information for each park at OutdoorNebraska.gov.

State Park visitors may responsibly enjoy campfires in designated areas. They are reminded to exercise caution, as fire weather conditions can change rapidly, and nearly 90% of the state is still experiencing moderate to severe drought conditions, according to the latest U.S. Drought Monitor.
