Check for restrictions before burning and participating in outdoor activities
It is critical that you verify current restrictions before burning or participating in outdoor activities as conditions may develop throughout the day, such as issuance of a Red Flag Warning, that results in a change in restriction status. Our all-in-one map (link below) enables users to check for Burn Restrictions, Fire Danger ratings, Red Flag warnings, and local declarations within one intuitive tool.
This map may not be all-inclusive. Incorporated cities may have their own permanent burn restrictions based on local ordinances. Please contact your local fire department or emergency management office for the most current information regarding restrictions in your area.
- Effective November 20th, 2024, the Little Missouri National Grasslands, Denbigh Experimental Forest, and Souris Purchase Unit are under an updated Emergency Fire Order and Restrictions. You may view the order here.
ND Fire Danger Guide (pdf)
If there are no local or state burn restrictions in place, guidelines outlined in the ND Fire Danger Guide are highly advised. If there are restrictions in place, you must follow what is outlined in the proclamation.
