Open Burning restrictions have been implemented by the Gilbert Plains municipality due to the extreme dry conditions.
The only burning allowed right now is burning crop residue, and that can only be done with a burn permit.
Burn permits are available through the Municipal office in Gilbert Plains.
Once a burn permit is in place, you must check wind conditions, have a fireguard, and ensure that you have a nearby water source before you can start burning.
You also can not leave that fire unattended at any time.
All other forms of open burning are strictly prohibited, including brush piles, grass, or other materials.
And all previously issued burn permits that were intended for anything other than crop residue are no longer valid and are now revoked.
