🔥🚨 ATTENTION: Mountrail County - This Is Not a Drill (Or a Grill) 🔥🚨

Due to current weather conditions, a BURN BAN is now in effect for ALL of Mountrail County.

That means:
❌ No campfires (we see you, wannabe wilderness chefs)
❌ No burning garbage (yes, that means even your ex’s stuff)
❌ No burning trees, brush, ditches, or that suspicious pile of “just twigs” in your backyard or anything else you think might be fun to light up.
❌ You’re not Sean Kingston and shawty better wait to burn up the dance floor until after this burn ban.
❌ No tiki torches, fire pits/tables, or flame throwing for fun. This includes propane fire tables.
✅ Grills are permitted (we know everyone loves a good steak on the grill).

🔥 NO OPEN FLAMES. PERIOD. 🔥

If it involves fire and it’s not inside a stove/grill, it’s a no-go. We’re serious. Like, “show up in uniform” serious. 🚔

Don’t test us. We’ve got smoke detectors, binoculars, and dispatchers who can smell smoke from 12 miles away.

Our volunteer firefighters are exhausted. They’ve been chasing down flames like it’s a full-time job—except they already have full-time jobs. So let’s give them a break, and maybe a nap. 🚒

Keep it cool, Mountrail. Literally. Let’s all enjoy the smell of “not smoke” and make it through this without toasting the county.

Feel free to share this to help spread the word faster than a grass fire in July.

Sincerely,
-Your friendly but slightly crispy police officers 🔥
