N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning that includes Stutsman County and will continue until 7 PM tonight.

“Because of the recently adopted Stutsman County Burn Ordinance, specific prohibitions on open burning will be in effect,” reports Stutsman County Emergency Manager Jerry Bergquist.

When a Red Flag Warning is issued, no open burning is permitted in Stutsman County. This includes starting, conducting, allowing, maintaining, or soliciting any open burning activities.

“Violations of Stutsman County Burn Ordinance will be enforced. This is a class B misdemeanor, for which a maximum penalty of 30 days in jail, a fine of $1500.00, or both may be imposed,” Bergquist points out.
