Please Inform us about Burning
Any Lincoln County resident that wishes to burn something other than household garbage (e.g. a large pile of trees, or an old building) should contact the Lincoln Country Dispatch Center at 605-764-2664 to inform them that they are going to have a large fire at their location. This is important because people driving by or in the neighborhood may notice the large fire and report it as an emergency to the dispatch center.
If the dispatch center has not been informed of the controlled burn, they are required to send the closest fire department out to investigate the fire. One short phone call giving your name, address, and what you intend to burn can eliminate much confusion and unnecessary dispatch of emergency equipment and personnel. No burn permits are needed.
