Unfortunately the Sheriff’s Office is unable to notify every one personally of severe weather. For residents in town a siren system is available for tornados warning and will be sounded during the start of the warnings. These sirens will automatically turn off after a couple of minutes but the warning will still be in effect. You should check a local media outlet or the National Weather Service for information about how long the Warning is in effect for. A weather alert radio is the best place to be made aware of current and approaching weather conditions and all weather watches and warnings. More information about weather radios can be obtained from the NOAA web site. Local weather information can also be obtained from the NOAA site also.
Burning permits can be obtained from the city hall of the fire district you live in. The permits are valid for 1 year. You must call in each day that you are actually burning. You can call the Sheriff's Office when you burn. Please have the name the permit is issued to along with your Township and Section Number when you call. The Sheriff's Office phone number is 507-526-5148.
