Statewide temporary open fire ban lifted

LINCOLN –The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission has lifted the temporary statewide open fire ban at state park and wildlife management areas.

The decision follows recent rain across portions of the state, where additional precipitation is anticipated this weekend.

Some Nebraska parks and counties that have not received recent precipitation still may have local, individual burn bans in place. Guests should call the park they are visiting prior to arrival to confirm the local ban status. Find contact information for each park at OutdoorNebraska.gov.

Where individual bans are not in place, visitors may responsibly enjoy campfires in designated areas.
