Department of Environmental Quality lifts state burn ban

  Published at

POCATELLO — The Department of Environmental Quality has lifted the advisory prohibiting all open burning due to an improvement in air quality.

The City of Pocatello still has a burn ban on open burning of solid fuels within the wildland urban interface areas due to the current fire danger and fuel moisture levels, according to a Pocatello news release.

This ban went into effect on July 1 and remains in full force until it is repealed, or until Oct. 1.

In addition, the Pocatello Municipal Code prohibits the burning of substances of any kind within the city other than recreational fires, except by special permit issued by the Pocatello Fire Department, according to the news release.

All questions can be directed to the Department of Environmental Quality at (208) 234-6201.
