The burning restrictions that went into effect on April 15th for McLeod County have been lifted effective April 19, according to McLeod County Emergency Services Director Kevin Mathews.
The McLeod County Fire Chiefs Association urges people to still use caution when burning. People should call for assistance early if the fire is starting to get out of control so that the fire departments can assist before it gets more challenging to extinguish the fire and other buildings and property are threatened.
