RESOLUTION NO. 2025-08

A RESOLUTION PERTAINING TO OPEN BURNING OF PASTURE, TILLABLE FARM GROUND, CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM LAND, WATERWAYS, RIGHTS-OF- WAY AND OTHER LAND AND REPLACING RESOLUTION 2017-27.

WHEREAS, the grass and crop land of Kansas forms an important part of our economy, and provides for the protection of watersheds, forage for livestock, refuge for wildlife and recreational opportunities. Recognition that proper land management and agricultural economics may require the utilization of controlled prescribed burns is imperative. Many positive effects in ecosystems may be realized by correctly timing and conducting prescribed burns, netting ecological and economic benefit. However, wildfires endanger those resources, real and personal property, and the lives of residents and visitors in these areas; and

WHEREAS, dry and windy weather conditions and above normal temperatures, combined with open public burning without consulting local fire departments sometimes creates a fire hazard to the grass and crop land of Marion County, Kansas; and

WHEREAS, once started, these fires are often difficult to control. Out of control fire impacts the resources of rural fire districts not only financially, but in manpower as well.

WHEREAS, the damage caused by out-of-control fires can be minimized by requiring the public to follow certain rules and regulations.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS, MARION COUNTY, KANSAS, DO HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

In the event the fire is not started within 120 minutes of the estimated time, a new call must be placed to verify intent and permissibility to burn before ignition takes place. 2. No open fires shall be allowed if the Marion County Sheriff’s Department dispatch deems conditions to be too dangerous as identified in the current Burn Resolution 2025-08. The Marion County Sheriff’s Department shall use the Grassland Fire Danger Index (www.weather.gov/ict/fire) to determine whether or not an open burn will be authorized.

If smoke may affect visibility at an airport, the person conducting the burn shall give adequate notifications to the appropriate airport authorities before burning. c) Burning at night is discouraged due to the elevated risk to emergency response personnel and to those seeking to contain the prescribed burn. 4.
